If you've got a very good AGP-card and good DDR-memory, maybe you could keep it and go for the P5P800...

By the time the great dothan OC rigs will be mature and available, better PCIe graphic cards and better memory will also be available...

I just upgraded to P5AD2/i560/Corsair XMS2/X800XT -combi and it's taking me some time to get the OC done right (although it's a very good stock-performer).

nice ram you got there... 260 at what volts? hmm the 6600gt is a nice card.

260 was at 3.5v (only super pi 1m stable).... more volts made it unstable in memtest.
