p 4 1.8 ghz, 256 to 512 mb sdram, 20 to 40 gb hd. Keep the same monitor of course and i think your good to go. You get all that mentioned above off ebay for like 200 bucks or so

Yeah i was thinking along the same lines as far as the upgrades. Either AMD or Intel., definatly 512, probably DDR.

Can use any thermal compound realy, most use artic silver 5 which is £7 from here.

How long do you guys think till the direct x 10 cards come out?

I might just wait till that happens and just buy an amd2 board and build up from there. Little by little I can surive on my:
socket 754 Venice +3000 and agp 6800nu with a zalman VF-900cu :)

got an issue. my desktop wont boot into windows. when i boot into safe mode it always stops on some agp440 driver. any ideas?

I owuld right down the error word for word then google it. Thats usually the best start. I always do that when I get some serious error action going on.
