I would guess a good move would be (if you have the budget) to upgrade to a= =20 am2 motherboard. DDR2 prices are not higher than DDR, and getting a PCI-E=20 slot would make it future safe regarding graphics. Ofcurse that means=20 investing in a new motherboard, new memory, a new graphics card (if you don= 't=20 are at PCI-E already) and a new CPU.=20 What CPU to pick...

I don=B4t have personal experience of any am2 chipsets, but my guess is tha= t=20 they right now don't differ much from the "old" 939 chipset, just slightly= =20 modyfied to support DDR2. The difference between DDR and DDR2 are according to most test slight to no= ne,=20 but as speeds increase and latency is lowered things might change.=20 Check out this (http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=3D2741&p=3D1) anand= tech=20 article comparing DDR with DDR2 memory.
