Thanks for your help, yes but I was told there was a large difference between 8X and 4X. I want to upgrade my motherboard because of this.. however I'm not the handy type guy. I mean, I can always get the G/C and then upgrade my motherboard with new ram. This way If I get the G/C it will allow me time to save up for some ram and a new MOBO

What you just posted makes me not want to even get a new graphics card, because the installation sounds like a hassle and I might screw something up.

Can you put this in easier terms?
