I'm upgrading from a PIII 800, 512Mb RAM, 64Mb Nvidia Card. I wonder if I'll notice any speed differences? hehe

Looks great! I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that games progression has slowed a bit, which is a good thing for people who can't upgrade every 6 months.

My only concern is that I'll have huge power for running any game, but will the 4ms LCD let me down with any ghosting or whatever. Even though gaming will only account for 25% of use, I hope is will still be OK on a 4ms LCD. I did see a 2ms one on a website once, but couldn't remember the model or brand.

Also before I get flamed about having 2 crazy video cards and only using it for 25% gaming , I did that because I was in a position to be able to "future proof" it for a little while. So I decided to go a little crazy.

i have a 8ms lcd and i play wow, half life 2, doom 3, etc. and don't have any problem with any ghosting so i doubt your 4ms lcd will have any. that is a beastly setup, wish i had that what harddrive are you going to get for it, raptor drive?

[Snoop]

Actually I think the drive I was going to get was a seagate 160Gb SATAII 8Mb cache? Any recommendations?

[Toma]

Hard drives are pretty much identical to one another, so get one with the longest warranty. As for the LCD, I don't think you'll have trouble with a 4ms panel, my 2001FP is a 16ms and ghosting was never a concern.

i wonder how much of a difference it'll be I can't remember being on a p3

[ghostshell98]

go with a nec burner and use taiyo yuden media, nec will be cheaper and better than that pioneer

[Snoop]

ghostshell98: You serious? I mean I haven't bought a new drive (therefore fully researched a new burner) since my A07, but I assumed that the Pioneer range was still one of the best. My A07 with Ritek's haven't failed me yet. What's so special about an NEC? I might have a quick look around tonight.

Cheers...

LOL i actually just got myself a sorta new pc just a after christmas. An upgrade from my p3 933mhz. My friend sold me his fried athlon xp system for 30 bucks. The processor was retail and still under warranty. I sent the processor back to amd and they sent me back an athlon xp 2600+. His old system had some centon 2700 ram that still worked, its in my system now. I then just bought myself a cheap foxxconn case and mobo combo from newegg for 80 dollars. Im also running an old ide drive that i had in my ps2.

this is the case mobo kit that i got

yeah im way behind but i really cant afford any of those high end PCs and dont really play any games at all. I couldnt justify buying anything like that atm. Im barely even on the net anymore.
