Alas I don't live in the land of milk and honey that is the USA - stuff
can be a lot more expensive in the UK
My existing system also doesn't have a user serviceable MOBO - it came
as a barebones.
820's are about the cheapest Dual core processor here compbined with a
cheap abit mobo comes to about $180 - then add memory - PCI-E card etc
and it would make more expensive to ask my Digital TV provider to
upgrade me to a HD PVR (Sky HD)
Cheers
