Here's a problem I have SP:
I want to upgrade my motherboard. I know this is best to do with an upgraded CPU too, but I'd like to hold off on that until I have a bit more cash. I currently have Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz, and from the looks of it intel quad core processors will fit into the same socket. I found this motherboard on Newegg:

And really, I'd just like confirmation that I can do this with the motherboard:
1)upgrade the CPU from a duo to quad
2) use two GeForce 8800GT cards (I currently have a spare)
Also, I have 2 gigs of RAM, 2 1 gig DDR2 sticks, would it be a good idea to get an extra two?
