Thanks for the response Zen

I am definitly getting a new vid card and was thinking of getting more ram b4 i upgrade mobo that way i can at least lvl the 3 toonz.

As I can really only afford like one of these per paycheck im probly gonna wait for mobo for last.

The extra ram on this board would bottleneck the memory but I figure its better than nothing so I can at least get this lil posse started

at least after i upgrade video card and ram i will be able to tell where my systems weaknesses are for running 3 toons on one box. That way if I do need a processor upgrade I can just look forward to maybe getting a mobo/processor package and save a couple bucks.
