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

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.
