I kept putting off upgrading my Athlon 3200 system, because of all the inflated prices.
Asus almost got $200+ off of me a couple times, but that DFI board was too much to resist so I placed a preorder at Monarch. Got a pretty good price on it too. It's supposed to be in next week.
-Edit-
DFI boards came in to the store this afternoon. Should ship by Monday at the latest.
-Edit-
So far the rig looks like this...
(+ = new stuff/ - = considering):
+AMD Athlon 64 3000+
+Thermalright XP-90
+DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra D'
1 gig of Corsair Value Select 3200 (thanks to the memory thread /saved me $$$)
Seagate 80 gig 7200 8mg
Maxtor 80 gig 7200
-Raptor as soon as I can find one for around $100. Don't laugh, it will happen before my next upgrade.
NEC 3520 Burner
Lite on DVD Rom
-Lite on DVD Rom/CD burn
-6800GT PCI-e as soon as I sell my new 6800GT agp or use it to upgrade to their PCI-e version.
-Maybe an X800XL if I decide to keep the GT.
So your basic ocable system. Hopefully it will hit 2.5ghz stable on air and help power certain games on my dell ws.
So far only one bad ocer in my collection.
300 cell @466+
P4 1.7 @ 1.9ghz (bad ocer/chip choice returned a week later for...)
1.6a @ 2.4ghz
1.8a @ 2.7ghz
Athlon 2500+@ 2.2ghz
