i just built similer for my brother a few months back with the earlyer via chipset version of that board it rocks so damn quick! shame xp64 isnt great yet but xp pro on raid is still nice...

sucks tho im the geek IT guy still usen a p3 550 over clocked to 733 Razz




My 24 hour around the clock leeching comp is a p3 500 running standard speeds.
Board has 2 dead isa slots and 2 working pci slots. Also has a semi redundant ide channel 1. Other channel is utterly not accepting a slave drive for some wierd reason.

Setup is pretty cheap but still overpriced. I would not spend more than 1500 on a computer. Any videocard u get no returns and ever seems worthwhile. Especially for a game.

Seems like SLI pci express is the standard now. And sli running 2 high end cards is only for a serious enthusiast.

Raid is a more feasable option. Drives costing around 150 dollars and the security is another reason.

With those AMD chips u'd most likely wanna be spending almost 100 on a REAL cooling solution. AMD have never addressed their hot running cores. Maybe they're working in conjunction with cooltech or whatever. Waterchill/vaporchill is the way to go as most fans really don't do much but ventilate. But this isn't going to turn into a fully fledged debate about cpu cooling..

IMHO good setup.
CRT monitors are the shit for gaming.
But i think still overpriced.
