I'm upgrading this week.
amd xp 2100 cpu. EPoX EP-8RDA nForce2 Mainboard Corsair 512MB DDR SDRAM PC3200 400Mhz ENERMAX 430W EG465PVE (FMA) POWER SUPPLY Snagged a heatsink/fan upgrade along with it all. I've already got a gf4 ti 4400 and a sound blaster live sound card. Think it'll run well / handle PS alright? -- Beorin

2100+ is a good CPU, I have one. It's 1.73ghz by default. If you get the tbird core you could probably OC it to 2ghz pretty easily.
 My thoughts on the issue of "running PS well": I'm waiting until after it comes out to see how it runs on certain hardware and then upgrading. You can't tell how it will run now, since it's not out yet. Besides, it's the only thing I need to upgrade for and so there's no rush to buy the parts now when they're more expensive than they will be when the game comes out.

EPoX EP-8RDA nForce2 Mainboard
Corsair 512MB DDR SDRAM PC3200 400Mhz Is that the board that's optimized for the 400? I know I got 333 because it's actually a little faster and more stable with my mb.

I got the deluxe, but went with 333 because it performed about the same all over, and a little faster more than the 400, plus that percentage of stability was greater, and it's cheaper. Seemed like a win win situation. I get the board fri or sat, and I'm stoked. I printed off all 64 pages of manual, and I can't foresee any problems. How'd it go for you BZ?

Its all in the mail already.
I figure I'll get a faster processor when they're a little cheaper. xp2100 seemed the best speed vs cost currently. especially with my $500 budget for the upgrade. it all came to 469$ exactly.
