You other choice is to spend <$100 and just swap the server MB and get the cat back...
Spending money on a new motherboard for a 6 year old processor seems like a waste. Especially since it doesn't fix my framerate issue with my gaming rig (30 fps with all the details turned off at 1024 x 768 is pretty low-end these days... especially when racing online where it makes a competitive difference).

Anyway, I'm looking for opinions about the specific setup listed above with regards to gaming performance. Considering your FF wheel is 4 years unopened, I'm gonna guess you don't have much firsthand experience with this particular stuff.
