other than the ram witch you relay should go for 2x512 of DDR400(pc3200)

That would kick much ass

What he said. That's a kickass system for $500, but replace that ram with 2x512's ASAP.

Yeah that's kick ass for $500. I wouldn't worry too much about the ram. True, it's only going to run at PC2700, but that's not going to make a real big difference.

Um, there will be a huge difference. Not only will it be running all at PC3200 speed, it will be dualchanneled. With one 512 and 2 256's, there is no dualchannel and its slowed down to PC2700 speeds.

Gah again with teh reffering to your card in megabytes it tells us nothing it coudl be a POS 5200 that cost $50 so you wer ripped of or a $500 5900 so you got a great deal you have to clarify the GPU

This system is being sold to me by a friend who likes to sell his "old" and buy a new one about every 5 months.

Last christmas, I bought a Geforce 4 Ti 4800SE from him for 50$.
