Hi I am looking to upgrade my system. I believe my CPU isn't letting me realize the true potential of my system
Current Specs:
A8N32 SLI DELUXE MOTHERBOARD
AMD 4800+ 2.4 Ghz Dual core processor
SLI'd EVGASuperclocked8800 GT's
2 gig of ddr corsair memory
Sata hardrive
Creative X-fi Souncard
I am thinking about, cashing in a savings bond and going for this bundle http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3403908
Along with 2 gig of cheap but good ram off newegg

Now after changing out the board, cpu, and ram, I will have to reactivate windows right. I did when I upgraded my video card. What else do I need to know about the installation. I will unistall all my graphics and cpu drivers. Am I missing something? Is this a good future proof setup (as far as mobo, cpu and ram). Are we on the verge of seeing some new cheap but better processors coming soon? Also is intel on the verge of a new socket?
Also if you see a better upgrade for my system, please advise.
Thank you,
