Yep! I said I was gonna do it and I did! Last night went to Memory Express and bought and Athlon 64 3700+ and 1GB dual channel OCZ memory on an ASUS mobo and a funky case with 420 watt PS. I'm still using my Radeon 9600XT. Got CS:Source running and it never dropped below 120FPS! Wheeeee! Very cool. Very fast! Me likey very much! ;D ;D ;D  |

The actual speed of the processor is 2.2 GHz, but because of the architecture this CPU is performing at about the same speed as the P4 3.8GHz CPU's. This things runs at about 36 Deg C. as well. And it's cheaper! The biggest limitation in my system now is the video card but I'm getting around 100 fps (I bumped up the settings a bit) which is fine since my monitor's scan rate is 85Hz.
I now have 2 Athlon 1800+'s (one for my son, the other for my wife) and this one. As well as a P4 1.6GHz for my daughter. My server is a PIII 600MHz soon to be upgraded to a P4 1.6. I buy whatever's cheapest (bang for buck) at the time.

nice, i actually just upgraded from an 1800+, but i had to run it at 100fsb so only at 1.15 gigs, cause it was fucked up and locked up at 133.
ill have to install hl2/cs:s and join up w/ you sometime, though a new graphics card would help the cause...
i turn 21 this coming saturday though, perhaps a bday present idea of a geforce fx....

You got an AMD 3700 running at 3.8GHz!! that's quite the feat. I'm still running my P2.8. I think my video card is fritzing out and I want to get another 512 ram to make 1 gig....$60 for 512.
Other than that, its all good. Yeah screens only refresh around 75 - 85 so it gives nothing much to play at 100fps. Oh well.

It's still running at 2.2GHz but it performs the same as a P4 running at about 3.8GHz. ;D |

Winner!
Can you run an express video card? That would be smokin' fast.
Either way, damn nice!
I need to build up a desktop and get my laptop serviced, has serious heating issues. Performs better than any laptop I've come across, but dayum can it be moody... =(

LOL... Happy 21st....
As for me, nothing special to report... Classes are goin' great, work's payin' me to do practically nothing, the usual crap.
Still play World of Warcraft, actually got a damn good thing goin' and I'm lookin' at getting some of the nicest stuff in the game, it's fun... Still play CS from time to time, but I'm not as good as I used to be =(
How're you all doin'?
