Nice System what kind of Hard drives you running? I am not a fan of the Radeon...I guess I am gun shy about trying one due to their history of driver problems with Win2K

nice poo...great picks on the hardware for the most part.

what sound card you using?

 

[Kelvrick]

You're running almos the same rig I am. Well, better vid card, less HD space, and a regular case. I'm running a Lite-on dvd though. I get about 6000 on 3d mark.

i have no sound card right now, just using on board audio for a little. I'll upgrade to a SoundBlaster platinum with a livedrive when i have the money, and a 5.1 speaker system. My next upgrade though is going to be an lcd monitor...these CRT's make my eyes hurt sometimes.
