i would try and talk you out of that pentium 4 and set u straight with a amd athlon 64 3000, but it looks like your minds made up. i have a thermaltake xaser v6000 and i love it. and now is the time to grab the 9800 pro cuz its at a great price, and all the gamer really needs

[npor]

Man, if you got some better ram (hint: 1GB Corsair XMS), that comp would be SCREAMING for a CPU overclock.

3.0C, what I have in one of my comps, is a GREAT overclocker, I have it at 3.8 with my 1GB CXMS. 9800pro also, great overclocker.

If you really want an Intel, why didn't you get one of the Prescott's w/ the 1MB L2?

[[uGa] Saint]

cuz the prescott's 3.0ghz actually show slower performance and give off more heat when compared to northwoods 3.0 ghz... prescotts show off, higher up in the run at higher speeds... 3.0C runs cooler so if he ever wants to OC it, you can easily get higher results than with a prescott.

[aCiD]

tht ram i got in there now is just temporary, later on iima get some XMS because i am going to OC it... i just cant do it with that ram.. and who knows i might just go ahead and get the better ram now... oh well :d:

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

just remember acid, oc = smoke

But nice machine, can you imagine how fast the cards will go at the end of soltaire will go? WOW

[aCiD]

i can only imagine! lol, i never beat soltaire..

1 thing tho, i was reading some reviews and it said the card 9800 Pro and that MB they sometimes have a sound problem.. guys said buying a sound card fixed the problem.. but i guss ill see when it gets here :p:

[aCiD]

well ive decided to go with different ram, seeing how everyone seems to say something about it... and i will be over clocking... anywho this is the new stuff i got
Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series
DDR 400
CaseLant: 2-3-3-6 T1
oh yea and upgraded to a 200gB hard drive Western Digital 7,200 RPM SATA

[eNdOfBeGinNinG]

well there goes nikki's engagment ring..l00z3r!

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

excellent choice on ram...overall...nice system!!

[aCiD]

ive already got that j00 nublet!

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

i have 256 mb of generic pc2100 and a 16mb video card (don't remember the name)
4 gig 5400 rpm h/d, and onboard sound.

will an upgrade help my gaming?

[eNdOfBeGinNinG]

with your skills? No.. nothing will help.. try riding a bike!

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

my only recommendation saber would be to get a better vid card, something in the 64 mb range would be fine if all you play is cs (ie nvidia mx440 would be great, just ask yellerdawg...heheh)

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

I paly more than CS.. I play music, solitare, and videos... :stick

BTW my cards move real fast when i beat solitare ...LOL

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

parker - you have a ti4200 not a mx440

I, on the other hand have a mx440
