Thanks for the advice guys, I still need to give it a bit more thought but after reading your replies I think what i will do is pick up a boxed version of Win7 so that I can still use it in a new rig down the road and try that on it's own first with a mild OC on my Q6600, I have read that I should be able to safely push 2.8 with good fan cooling. If I'm still not happy I might look at getting a newer video card.
S!
