My system is REALLY starting to show it's age. But I've squeezed the most out of it..

Athlon 900

KT-7 Raid board

256 ram

30 gig Seagate 7200rpm drive

Pioneer DVD

Sony Burner

10/100 IBM Ethernet card

32meg Geforce 2 card

SB PCI 128 sound card

External V.90 modem

17 inch digital monitor

It still plays SOF2 multiplayer over the net good, so I might be able to drag out upgrading for a few more months :)

Where do you lads get your gear from, my puters HELLA old, i ain't even gunna start, but I can't complain I guess.

It's like probably 4 years old, if anyones upgrading and wants to sell their puter then drop me a line or something :D

Too many other things to spend money on then worry about buying a new computer.

I've just upgraded from: Dipped Into the Turbo Money :(

Old System:

Asus A7V133 With Raid

Duron 900 (266FSB) @ 1000 @1.75v

SBLive Value (No good with the A7V133 686B South Bridge)

400mb PC133 SDRAM (Generic)

MSI GF2MX400 32Meg

Sold For $250

Fastest Stable Settings:

3DMark 2001SE: 2500

---

My System Now:

AMD XP1800+ (NEW) $185

EPOX 8K3A DDR333 With Onboard 6.1 Channel Sound (NEW) $185

Corsiar DDR400 XMS 512MB Ram @ DDR333 (NEW) $390

Sparkle GF4 Ti4200 VIVO 128Mb Samsung 4ns Ram (NEW) $350

Std Settings:

3DMark 2001SE: 10,000

--

I did buy Generic PCB with Samsung TCB3 Chips DDR333 Ram $295) and the 3DMark 2001SE was 7990. :)

In Australia wholesalers must buy 6000+ units of Genuine Samsung PCB & Chip ram which no one has done.

Genuine Samsung PCB & Chip ram is as good as Corsiar, but a little cheaper.

Do not buy Generic PCB with Samsung Chips it is crap.

Corsiar Ram is ready for Overclocking (400FSB) as soon as I get a better Heatsink and PSU Currently got a 250w Aopen and 5v is to low :)

Also spend a little more and get the GF4 Ti Range of Vid cards.

The GF4 MX Vid cards do not support the up and comming games/gfx.

A GF4 Ti4200 Sparkle card overclocked will basically match the performance of the $600-$700 Ti4600.

All up it cost just over $1100 & I'm ready for Unreal Tournament 2003 (30th Sept) and Doom 3 :(

i was going to get the Sparkle 129MB card for the same reason... but then i heard about them burning out too fast at those speeds and decided to get the 64MB XFX which has faster RAM and is more stable at 4400 speeds which is good enough.

Problem with the 64mb card is that there isn't enough ram for the up and coming games which require 128mb for textures.

i.e Doom 3.

Therefor the game will run slow with a 64mb card as it has to use the memory in the computer.

Slap on a good heat sink with the Sparkle card for the ram chips and you wont have to worry about it burning out.

Where did you hear about this burning out to fast?

I've looked on every forum every review and havn't heard anything but good about the card.

Well apart from the fact that they don't come standard with Heat sinks on the ram.

:(

You Really should have bought a 128mb.

Also please don't listen to what Computer Shop Ppls say.

They simply sell what they make the most on and can get the easiest. Been there done that.
