HTPC Upgrade

This was the easiest upgrade ever!  I switched out the LGA775 processor with another more powerful processor (Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 Ghz)  Things are working quite well.  It was a simple swap and CMOS wipe followed by some Windows Updates.  No new system and no hiccups.  The most annoying thing was that I had to use my HDMI projector to configure the BIOS as my normal mini touch screen is USB based so will not work until its drivers are loaded- after the BIOS. 

NEXT:  Get FLAC working on that machine.  It has been an ongoing nightmare to get working.
