well the stock Acer MB probably isn't HELPING your performance... although I don't think that's the main issue you're having...
Honestly, I'd maybe look into a new GFX card. You can get an ATI 4870 for about the same price as the 9800's are going for, and be utterly blown away. Mine's taken everything I've thrown at it at full resolution and full effects, and keeps begging for more...

I personally always leave my main rig running....its been continuously on except for updates that required reboots for the last three years. When I get to my desk I am ready to rock n roll and get
down to business. I have been told also that the startup of your HDD is the most strenuous single action that you can put it through......
My thing is if you have a rig that is generally ...

because if it wasnt static the IP can change leaving you wondering which machine youve actually connected to. in a home environment this may not be so bad as machines usually keep the same IP even with DHCP but on corporate networks where DHCP machines generally have a different IP address every day, it can still work, just required the user to know the IP address of the machine first....

Looks good
But if it were me I would go for a Nvidia GTX 250 thats on the same site.
ATI 4850 vs Nvidia GTS 250 Reveiw
And the only reason I suggest that is because I see you FOLD...and the 250 will blow away the 4850 in PPD (your talking approx 4-5 k per day
And with that
triple core you can still run a SMP
Not to mention that XFX has a lifetime warranty...

portability, the laptops I have owned/used have been reasonably well designed.
What are your complaints, what would you like to see changed? Help me understand why you think there is a problem.

I know this was a while ago, but no once else has taken a stab at it, soooo...
You've tried processor swaps, but what about the RAM?
If it's seeming stable with an 800mhz FSB processor in it, run a
stress test or bench mark on the memory while the 800mhz is in.
OR, since you were able to get ahold of different processors, maybe you can get ahold of a couple other sticks ...
