Save your money for awhile instead of pulling small upgrades and buy a throw down system. Otherwise, you'll just be on an out of date system constantly.

I'm lying to you, to be honest. I doubt my home server needs all 1.5 GB of RAM. If you really do want 512MB of RAM, PM me.
|
I can't tell if you're being serious, I'm buying a 1GB dual stick set soon, so 1.5GB o' ram! yeay!
So then you can have 1.5 too!
I might just buy a new mobo that supports AM2 or something higher, DDR2 and SATA-II and on-board audio.

You should just save your money and buy a new PC.

a pre-made made pc? nah.
buying a new mobo + processor + graphics card and HDD would be a lot cheaper.

To bad about the Phenom with this so called TLB bug.
It's fixed but performance drops...
Else that would have been a nice upgrade... Quadcore for everyone! 
If it's worth upgrading depends what else is in your system right now. If you have a good basis, good psu, airflow ecta. then it might be worth upgrading.
