1800 AMD Athlon XPAsus A7V3331 Gb DDR RAMATI Radeon 8700SB Audigy 280 Gb HDK-world PCI TV tuner / Capture cardDVD-ROM & CD/RW & DVD+-RW

Actually I only have 512 mb of ram in right now cause Windows ME can't handle any more :mad: But I am upgrading to XP pro soon so that will not be a problem. And I can use a remote control to watch TV on my computer! The capture card is also a nice ripper, I can rip VHS/DVD/whatever to my hard drive! I also have 3 CD drives for no real reason.

Oh, forgot to add in my slightly modded Xbox ;)ok, so the pic doesn't seem to want to show up, so here's the addressModded Xbox sorry it's so grainy, but i took it with my cameraphone, due to lack of a REAL digital camera.

If anyone wants, i'll post a how-to...it's really rather easy, and pretty cheap...total cost for me was about $20

AMD 64 3000+


That's THE processor I'm getting to build my comptuer this summer.

How is the performance on the 64-bit chip as opposed to, say, the Athlon XP 3000?

actually, i'm not so sure i've been impressed thus far gaming wise...i'm not so sure it isn't a software issue though, because it just doesn't seem to perform up to snuff....i built it about 2 months ago...still working it all out

that has to suck at night if you leave your computer on. Mine's still brighter than a night light w/ only the TrueBlue Power supply and blue LED lit CPU fan (it was simply rediculously lit up w/ leds on all my fans, but still nothing like yours)
