I use my rig for a lot of cad apps same as you, as well as lightwave, photoshop ect. Pretty much the same so I'll just share the info with you that I've learned. First off since you said don't worry about the price, I say go for a dual-core cpu. Usually it's a bit overkill but cad & 3d progs are...

I found anything that uses Ritek dye works great, ie. Ridata DVD's or the like. Theres plenty of dfferent companies that use Ritek and they can be had for a decent price.

I just built my first A64 rig using those exact sticks. I've been up and running for about a month now and have just started to push this system. Right now I'm running my 3200+ at 2.4ghz, with the g.skill at 1:1 2.5-4-4-10 1T. It was fine at 235HTT with 2.5-3-3-10, I just loosened the timings...

Orchid 3dfx in SLI with the external cable Riva TNT2 FX5200U Yep that's me, living on the edge of computer technology.

Up until about 2 weeks ago I was running on a P4 1.5 Williamette oc'd to a whooping 1.7ghz. Even worse was the 256mb of rdram, I couldn't force myself to pay the ridiculous prices for more ram. That was the 'fastest' PC I had until a few weeks ago too lol. How I don't miss those days.

Just something to throw in here since I have a few sw fishtanks... you can't just cut into any glass tank. By far the majority of them use tempered glass on all sides including the bottom. Trying to drill or cut tempered glass would end up with a bunch of glass all over the place. However they...

A bit off-topic here but I just came across you talking about the 6800 to FX4000 mod. I do quite a bit of cad work as Im a engineering student, but in my free time I also like to game quite a bit. I'm in the process of upgrading to a A64(waiting on Venice) and later I plan to upgrade my gfx...

I'm waiting on these too, I'm finally making the jump from a p4 1.5ghz with 256rdram lol.. what a jump it will be. I just noticed on several of the sites that froogle comes up with when searching for ada3200bpbox, they list the "Retail Price" or MSRP at $233, and a couple also listed the ETA as...
