Okay so I got all my junk in a set it up last night. Specs are:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ link
Socket 939
Winchester Core (of course :P )

Mobo is the K8NSC link
Nforce3 (Love it so far.)

1 Gig Corsair XMS (DDR 400) link
I got the XL for the tight timings rather than the OC abilities. Timings are 2-2-2-5 :twisted:

The rest is pretty much the same as the old system. 6800 GT that isn't oc'd yet but will be tonight.

I love this so far. I'm running at 8x AA and 16x AF "High Quality" with FFXI running 100%+. Of course I did all the reg hacks to run at super nerd resolution and it runs so smooth. lol

Input?

Not bad. Good choice on the Corsair. I have mine running at 3-2-2-2.

And lemme know how far you can O/C that 6800 GT, some get pretty crazy results.

Thats really nice Matti, sounds like a good system for doing multiple things other than FFXI. 1GIG ram makes a HUGE difference in overall performance rather than having 512mb. Is this 1GIG 2x 512mb sticks in dual channel (if so, thats hot+1). quick question, how are the AMD64s? My last computer i bought was back in the XP barton days, is 64bit processors that much better?

I have always wondered if there were ways to spice up the graphics ingame, if you could, please PM me w/ these steps... my 9800pro is askin for it!

My current specs:

Abit NF7-s (nVidia chipset)
AMD 2500+ XP
1gig (2x 512mb) Corsair XMS
ATI Sapphire 9800pro 128mb
TDK CD-RW 52x32x48? (not quite sure)

1) yes, of course it's 2 x 512. :)
2) your current specs are almost exactly what I just pulled out. haha

Which 2500+ do you have? those oc so very nice. Mine was running at 210 x 10.5 and ran Prime95 with no trouble. :shock:

This is the computer I had at the beginning of the school year

AMD Athlon FX-53
1GB Corsair XMS BH-5 @ 3-2-2-2
2x80GB HDD
Audigy2
Klipsch 4.1
ATi Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition

it was pretty fucking awesome, but since I decided that in college I wanted to go outside I sold it and bought some shitty parts. 3000+ Barton, 6600 GT, etc.

Anyways grats again! Computer Hardware is kinda my passion :oops:

I came so close to getting PCI-e and trying an X800XT but everything I've seen shows it to be about the same as the 6800 GT/Ultra and I already had that. haha

I left out the sound junk :oops: It's an Audigy2 ZS and the Creative THX 6.1.

Bah 6.1!! You can hear KB sneaking up on you from more places than me :-(

And yeah I totally agree with your route on the 6800GT. The x800 XT PE is way too fucking rare to be worth it (the AGP version anyways) and the 6800GT overclocks and performs just about as nicely and for about half the price.
