Thanks for all your advice. I finally made a decision not to make a decision yet!! I'm going to see what is around in early October and get a new mobo bundle then. I've got a fairly busy rest-of-Summer, so I'll go for something in the Autumn. If anyone sees something looking really good at that time, please post! Thanks again for all your notes of caution etc. Spent a frustrating couple of hours yesterday doing some work in Windows XP because I was already set up to deal with it. Oh, how glad I was to get back to Ubuntu. A friend of mine has just bought a Mac because he was getting really cheesed off with Windows. He uses a Mac at work. I told him about Ubuntu and I'm going round there soon to put it on his old Windows box. That box is no slouch - it's around 1200 MHz with a huge hard drive and loads of ram, so I know he's going to be over the moon with Ubuntu.
