Some mobo to go with that
512 pc2700 ddr
radeon 9500
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2(if the price goes down)

and i may get all better stuff thant that if the price goes down, or i might have to nerf some stuff if my paycheck doesn't add up

[Strygun]

I got 1643 marks on 3dMark03.

Is that a good score?

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Good job Strygun!


Still waiting for my friend to build me that mack-daddy custom pimpmobile...

[BUGGER]

I dont gota job (damn labor laws). But my friend kinda does....cleans/does little work with this guy's truck (i forgot if its a water or gas truck).

he gets a good amount outa it......

[michaelsuave]

yeah, i just got the geforce fx series, was surprised that i could find one out, they said they had released a limited amount early and bought it direct from some of the guys i know that work for geforce. problem is, system is still in beta, and it causes a stupid frick'n memory dump when the graphics get cranking. had to upgrade the bios for my motherboard and everything forever, just because i wanted the best computer out there. flat pannel lcd 19 in, athlon 2800 if I remember correctly. thing runs like a dream... except when i try to play games, which is the freaking reason i made it. that and has the dvd+r/rw dvd-r/rw burner drive by sony. all at warehouse cost. but the videocard is being a mother currently. stupid winfast!

[Strygun]

Well, apparently the first boot of that comp was really bad, so the BIOS went into safe mode. A lot of the stuff was clocked back and reset, so I think that's why I got such a sucky score on 3dmark03. I'll talk to some comp people in IRC and hopefully boost that score.

[Kyle Vorgon]

Actually with 3Dmark2003 everyone gets low scores, can't remember exactly right now, I'll look it up later and post the reason.
