*Exactly*
Though, deject will probably argue about 3% somewhere in a synthetic benchmark.

but, does it work?

Yes it does. I must admit that its quite annoying not being able to get the OS working properly on the SATA disk, but its something I can live with. And thankee very much for the help Berk, was much appreciated.
Out of curiosity I ran a 3DMark05 test on my old setup and just tried it again on the new one. Whilst I have no real point of reference for the results, I'm guessing that an improvement in score from 953 to 3378 is quite good! Installing HL2 and CS:S again now - FPS above 20, here we come!

the OS thing is odd, but short of some oddities, and the possible NF4 sata issue, i dunno

Meh. I can live with it. A sata drive was beyond what I'd intended (originally planned just to get CPU, mobo and GFX) but since I got this lot for 300 quid its just a bit of a bonus. I'll just have a fast data and paging file drive!

Now all you need is a faster graphics card

To be exact, what I need is the money to buy a graphics card! I'm going to sell my old computer (Probably for around £150) and I could sell my 9600XT, but to be honest the money is needed more to try and beat down my overdraft just now. Just had to quit my bar-job too because the final few months of my degree are going to be pretty intense, so its belt-tightening time!
However, if this setup doesn't run Oblivion properly, then I may reconsider!
/Edit: Just noticed I'm a penguin now! Been racking up the posts recently
/Edit 2: Basically, what I mean is that the money I could possibly justify spending on a new GFX card would buy me one marginally better than the one I've got now, but as
Deject says, I'd be better off waiting for prices of 7800GT to drop and getting something like that in the future.

For cards currently available at that sort of sum the benefit over a 6600GT is not worth the expenditure.
While (in my case) games take ages to initialise and load maps, once in-game the 6600 performs remarkably well for a sub-£100 device.
