Ok you mugz. Break it out . You know, all the after X-mas configs etc. I know some of you guys got some new stuff during the holidays and seeing as I'm too broke to pay attention let alone buy any new stuff, I want to see what all the hot rodders are using here in JAN ' 02.

I'll be upgrading prolly around May so I wanna see the good and the bad that is out there NOW ! My stuff is old and it's in my sig so consider that my entry.

In fact, let's make this a charity thread for my new upgra......aww never mind.

Your stuff is old?! Your running a above 1.4 on both machines! I'd say that is above average... ...well, here is my system. I actually don't have the hard drives yet, but I'm in the process of saving up. My next paycheck should do it so I'll have 'em soon.
