Seems like a great system self, except, is that the 9500Pro, or nonPro?
Also, why just one HDD? U should really put 2 of em in a RAID0 array (get 2 80's or 100's if u need to save money), as the HDD is often the biggest limiting factor, and RAID doubles the speed, the difference is extremely noticeable.
And $ilverbullet, get yourself a better HDD, because the difference in speed is amazing. I went from a 10gb to an 80, and I was blown away.....

How about, Yes
They came out a few weeks ago. The 1700 and up are now available with the thoroughbred cores. They overclock very well. they are Tbred-a's, not b's, tho.

My beast:

AMD 1800 cpu (comp only recognized it as 1.5 ghz and i was too lazy to bother with settings...)
256 mb DDR ram (not enough)
Old ass TNT2 vid card
POS Compaq Presario 15 inch monitor
10 gb hd
old ass CD rom

I bought a new motherboard and processor and ram and needed to throw it all together so i used some old stuff that was lying around...

It will be way better when i start working again.

current computer: dead. HA! it WAS an IBM Aptiva with a K6-2 450mhz and a voodoo 2. Oh yeah. Can't beat the voodoo.

But my new computer (which is anywhere between Sacremento and here, being UMass) is an MSI Ultra SR something mobo, with an athalon 2000+ cpu, geforce 4 4200, soundblaster 5.1, and a seagate 60gig hd. the other important paorts are being cannabalized. so i built this new computer for a mere $475. Not to shabby, methinks.

what the heck you doing with 2 gigs of memory???
can you say overkill? you could have saved the money and bought a 3.06Ghz with Ht instead paire that with a 1 gb of mem and you still would not use all the memory.

also ti46000 instead of a Geforce Fx cuz that is second best??? if you want to be cutting edge you should have gotten a radeon 9700 or waited for the new 9800.

Well you need at least 1 mem stick in each bank to get the effects of dual channel drr. I was going to buy 2 stick of 512. My supplier gave me a deal where the extra 2 only cost me about $120 more. I'll use them somewhere else later but for now that is where the reside.

well that makes sense if you got a special deal but i would still have chosen a radeon 9700 i mean if you had the money for a FX you could have afforded a 9700.


also have you though about striping your drives i mean if you have two identical ones why not. Although now that i think are there any raid controlers for serial?
