I decided that since I was gonna wipe my system clean might as well upgrade it.. I got the following parts today:
Abit AV8 MB 939 socket
AMD 3500+ with a swiftech MCX6400v heatsink (it is huge) and I can OC that chip pretty good.
1GB of Corsair xms 2-2-2-5 3200XLPRO mem (matched pair of 512 sticks)
2 36GB raptor 10000rpm sata drives (gonna raid0 them with 16k blocks)
I am still debating on the Vid card.. I don't know if I should go with the 6800GT or the X800 Pro .. Have read good things about both but the GT is a lil cheaper. Anyone have any suggestions I like the ATI but the GT has all the pipes open and can OC to Ultra speed.
