Jackass, be careful with overclocking. It can greatly shorten the life of a processor. With the pricing today it just does not pay !

Eric, got the utilities and replied. Thanks!

I agree 300% about the overclocking.

Know of any great places for good deals on MB's and Processors?

I'm looking at http://www.motherboards.org for ratings, and the one I outlined above is highly rated, but many others very close.

No problem, I probably won't make the purchase for awhile anyway.

Have a safe trip!

seriously, your best would would have been to sell the laptop for a high price, buy a cheap desktop computer, and use the rest of the money on new parts too enhance the computer. i did that too my neighbors computer recently, now it runs extremely well. sadly, all i did was take him from a 4 gb hardrive to a 10 gb. ehhh, you might even just try that. only $60 chip at best buy. but that's just my suggestion.

It is a desktop, built by yours truly! (maybe that explains the problems?)

Seriously, every computer I have was bought in pieces and built by myself. I usually buy the motherboard, power supply & floppy in one deal. Buy memory and a HDD from another cheap wholesaler. In fact, everything in my computer was bought at discount prices from wholesalers around the internet. The only thing I bought from a regular store was my optical mouse, cause I had to have it that day!

When my computer was new it would have sold for $15-1800 at any retail store, I built it for less than $400.

Tiger has a few outstanding deals going on now for "bare bones" systems. You can get a case, PS, MB (Asus), 256ddr ram, 40gig HDD... Everything but the OS for $329. The price will fluctuate a bit with the processor you choose, anywhere from a Celeron 1.2Ghz to a P4 2.2Ghz.
