The ThermalTake case should last me quite a long time, and the mobo and heatsink can take up to a 3400+ AMD proc. *shrugs* I forsee myself upgrading to a 3000 "Barton" once the price drops to about 200$ or less. :sick:

[SpacemanSpiff]

Damn Gammit, I wish I had a 1.5 mb/s connection. :rock:

[BurningSpear]

I get 1.5 - 2.5 mb/s download. Gotta go cable. Except when it comes to upload speeds, but I get pretty decent pings in Tribes 2 servers with 32v32 pubs, so . . .

What *I'm* drooling over is yer damn 46-inch monitor, Unico!!!! Post a pic?

[SpacemanSpiff]

Sure Burning.. I'll have to check online for it since I don't have a dig. camera.

~cable is great, but it'll be a month before I can get it, so I'm getting dsl this week just in the hopes of getting on the open beta list. I'm sure most of us would have done this if given the opportunity. Also, cable down here is limited to 256k upload... not bad, but not good enough, aye? :cool2:

[BurningSpear]

yeah, i think 256k upload is the standard for cable, but i could be wrong. like i said, tho, i still ping awful nice in heavy traffic servers. 2000k/256k cable is hella cheaper than anything more on dsl, btw, even sacrificing some download bandwidth to increase upload.

need a new motherboard, an XP Barton 3000, and 1 gig of 3200 Corsair ram :( hmmm - wonder how much I can sell my legs for.

[SpacemanSpiff]

Trebor,

I personally would never buy a proc that's more than 300$ - and I believe the Barton 3000 is close to 600$.
The difference in fps are practically insignificant when compared to cards like the Barton 2500 and the Thoroughbred 2700. Save your cash yo, and upgrade economically. :thumbsup:

What would really make your rig fly is a Radeon 9700 card. Just wait until the 9800 comes out by April... the 9700 will come tumbling down in price. I couldn't wait, of course, since I want to get on the open beta list. :p

hehe :) I am a bit impulsive :( good idea about waiting for the 9800 :)

[SpacemanSpiff]

I anticipate the 9700 pro to go down to 200... probably no less than that.

[colinisinhere]

AMD AthlonXP 2000+ @ 2.0GIG
512 DDR RAM
Generic sound card
GeForce2 400MX 32MB (will that work with PS?)
60gig HD
52x CDROM

overall i think my comp is da bomb, exept for crapy video card, will that card even work with PS? whats a good card, GeForce4 Ti?

[SpacemanSpiff]

I THINK that card should work with PS... go to the official site and check out their most updated specs.
The most economical video card upgrade would be the GeForce 4200. Besides the upcoming FX card, the GeForce 4600 is probably the best nvidia has to offer for the moment. Of course, if you want the BEST video card out there right now... upgrade your card to the ATI Radeon 9700 pro (it has to be PRO).

[�io]

Athlon 1.4
256 PC2100

Sadly i probably won't be able to upgrade RAM and VPU for a while. :ugh:

It's pretty freakin' nice, I must say. I actually "kind of" got it for PS. Was tossing around the idea as a "I may soon get my first real job" gift to myself, and found a company who charges less for the internet connection plus cable TV than I was paying for cable TV alone!

P.S. my upload is 256k, I believe.

256k upload? Ah, then I misunderstood... I didn't know you got cable. Well, blech then. I'm spending the extra money for better latency and 768 SDSL (that's up and down).

The only reason I'm getting broadband is for PS... and it's all about the upload. :thumbsup:

I hope you are talking about bits not bites! lol
im gonna test my connection in a sec at dslreports.com, ill tell you what i get...

[colinisinhere]

428k down and 218k up... but thats with msn messenger and aim running, and the connection is split with a router now but it wont when i get planetside (asuming i get it :()

[SpacemanSpiff]

That should be more than enough to enjoy a PS bash.

[colinisinhere]

are you talking about my connection? its supposed to be 512 but normaly hangs around 400's and upload is suposed to be 256 but stays up t like 230

pretty good altogether ;)... but i wish it would stay closer to 512k

[Trebor95]

I dont think you will ever get full 512k and 256k - its something to do with bits and bytes, and the line quality, its basically like 56k - its very difficult to get full connection speeds on normal lines (if not impossible to get true 56k connection)

the speeds you are getting sound about right, you wont need to get rid of the router i dont think, unless it prevents you from accessing the servers etc. etc.

[Gammit10]

Actually, with my 56k modem, I regularly recorded speeds of 52k. Now, with my1.5Mb broadband, I have YET to record speeds under 1.3Mb. :D

For $15 a month, I'll take a "slow" upload speed of 256k with a dl speed of 1.5Mb!!! I'm sure I will have problem 0 playing PS with that upload (and no, it's not ALL about upload speed)... at least, that's what I was told.. hoping it's true. :confused:

Yes, that's 1.5 MegaBITS per second. MegaBYTES would be nuts. :eek:

[Drex]

I have DSL. How do I tell what my download/upload speeds are?
