Now that I've upgraded the Dell to an E7600, I have this spare E2160. I gave my daughter the P4 HT and my wife is most definitely not happy with the performance of the P3 that the daughter was using.

So, I don't she'll mind if I can upgrade that case to a dual core. I've decided to start searching for a cheap board that will run the E2160 and also, that will give me another PCIE slot to work with. Maybe I can eventually acquire an ATI card for it.

Since I already have an ATA hard drive, I'm going to look for a board that supports that and hopefully get a seamless transition to the better performing board. I guess I will need to make some changes to my linux kernel. (no big deal) So, I guess I'll also be in the market for some more Ram to go into the 'new' board.

I currently have a bid on a board on Ebay.

I don't know if my current bid is enough to win it or even if it's worth what I bid, but I currently have the high bid.
