At your service, dood!
Ah, sounds like my next PC

except i'm going for an Athlon XP 2500+ Barton.. its got more cache than the other kind.

I'd go for a Nvidia card but thats me :p

I plan just to use what i've got until i have enough to buy a geforce 4 ti after i've got my athlon.

this upgrade is going to cost me £250 British pounds, $3000 sounds rediculas. if the austrialian dollar isn't worth far less than the pound you got ripped off bad :p

Read:

Price: £124.30 (£146.05 Including VAT at 17.5%)

That comes with a fan and heatsink, the motherboard i intend to buy is about £75.

Not bad if i do say so myself.

My Dream PC (not so W00t)

My Dream PC is as follows. if anyone thinks something can be upgraded to something a bit better say so.

P4 2.8ghz
1GB DDR RAM
dual 120GB Hard Drives
DVD Burner
19" LCD Display
SB Live Audigy
ATI Radeon All-in-wonder 9700
Gigabit Ethernet with a T3 Pipe

And The Peice de la Resistance! (trying to act french. LOL)

Get A Big Honkin' Stereo With a Dolby Decoder built-in and attach it to the SB Live


Good system? think something needs fixed? also, sorry if it is a bit vague, but I have not been keeping up with latest products too well lately.


EDIT: if anyone is wondering what the main use will be, probably rebroadcasting my favorite TV channels onto the net. (yep, possible. check out Nullsoft.com/NSV)

AMD ATHLON BARTON XP3000 (2166mhz 333FSB) Socket A $1,199.00

that is the problem. I want to save as much money as possible while keeping this a rediculously high end system.

Whoa, Cool down! Don't get the latest. You'll just loose everything you have!
If you wait a little, everything will go down in price. So get a little cheaper. It isn't THAT necessary to get things that prediciously expenisve.

Do yourself a favor and get at least another sticky of 256 mb ram and you'll see an increase of speed. Believe me.
