damn I'm gettin' good :p

heh, built a new PC & sold my old parts to a friend. Had to transfer all my old stuff to his case and all my new stuff to my case. Both started up fine I remember in my good 'ol days, the probability was not that high So, my new system:

Biostar M7NCG (microATX)
1GB Corsair PC3200
AthlonXP 2500+ (1.8GHz) w/SK6 Heatsink
WD 120gig 8meg cache drive
Radeon 8500 (not the newest but it plays everything I throw at it fine)
onboard sound/lan (decided to ditch my SBLive...nor more queer problems!)
Samsung 52x24x52x16 (reads/writes cd's, & reads dvd's--one of those combo drives)

Reason I'm stickin' with small components is that I'm planning to build a case out of wood, with the help of my dad. Hopefully will be bringin' it to the PCA LAN party. It'll be my main rig, instead of my "huge" Lian Li I must say, I really like this nForce board so far. Everything installed EXTREMELY smooth. All I did was install windows, pop in the disc that came with the motherboard, clicked on a single item to install <i>everything</i> (onboard lan, audio, USB, etc) and that was it!

Very nice setup there....Is that a barton?

[Hipnotic_Tranz]

Sure is...got it for $96 @ newegg.

drolling, you gonna fold with it?
We are curious to see how the fast cache on those babys effect folding

yES, THAT WOULD (ahh, caps) interesting. I have a 2100+, I can back it back down to 1.8 GHz and we cna compare. There are so many variables, we gotta make sure we're running the same version of the console. I think there's a new one?

[Hipnotic_Tranz]

I used to fold....that was long, long time ago. If you are all seriously interested, I could do it for a couple nights before I got to bed to give ya'll something to compare with.
