Right now it is in the process of formatting the harddrive

Old Computer was AMD 900 mHZ so I'll have a nice speed jump.

Great. Though I personally would've gone with a lower rated CPU and gotten a 7800 or X1900.

Nice job. You will really be able to overclock that 3800+ too....As far as the GPU, it depends on what you are going to use it for.

 

[Geomagick]

That will be a huge step up in performance from what you have been used to. Enjoy.

doesnt matter if you had gotten a lower cpu and higher video card...anything in the athlon64 range will show you PHENOMENAL performance. trust me.

Well got the XP Pro installed and updated. So far I am impressed with hoe fast my new computer is. Tomarrow I'll be bench marking it and I might even run prime95 just to make sure that it is stable.

Run Prime95 and Memtest before benchmarking.

Word, completely agree.

wait, he's getting the cheapest dual core already... what are you trying to tell him? a 3800 is a great deal, and he should be able to get at least an FX-60 out of it on air.

VERTIGGO:

Oops! Hahaha. I'm stuck in single core land, where 3800+ is a lot. I will never get used to these CPU ratings. Yes, 3800+ is the perfect choice for X2!

Well this is my first post from my new rig...So far I am quite happy with it...I still have not run Prime95 or Memtest. I had to load some other programs so it is ready for Monday morning. Now it is time to have some fun.
