Well if the R480 is only a week away then I'll wait it out. While I do have an AGP Mobo, it's using an Athlon 1400 processor. I'll probably grab a new mobo Athlon 3500 combo and go with that. It adds to the cost, but I look forward to trying out the new 64's. Smokedog

Ok most of us have no idea when ATI will release it's next product cycle and most of us have little idea of what the new features may be on this system. I realize that, but maybe some of you do have an idea of when and what will be released. In the old days companies like Nvidia liked to...

Any idea when AMD will release something new? I know that the duel core technology is slotted for late next year sometime (we hope). But I don't want to wait that long to upgrade. Does anyone know if AMD has any upgrades in store for the short term? I just don't want to make a purchase today...

I don't really see spending hard cash on another motherboard just to get a few extra FPS out of the Athlon XP series. I'm just trying to figure out what the "max" CPU is that I wll be able to put on THIS system. When I do upgrade motherboards it will be part of a complete new system built...

Guys I was once computer literate but went back to grad school for a few years and have come out being computer dumb. Anyway, I have an Asus A7S333 motherboard which uses the Athlon XP processors. Is this compatable with all high end Athlon processors currently on the market? For instance...

I was using onboard sound. I just upgraded to the Hercules Fortissimo III. It sounds great. I bought it online from NewEgg for $48 dollars (including shipping). There are certainly cheaper cards on the market, but this seems well worth the price. It did take some tuning to get it to work...

I decided to go with the Hercules Fortissimo III.

Some of my favorite remakes: Warcraft II AND III (I really like the 3d one best). DOOM II Counterstrike beta 3 (does that count?) FallOut II

Guys after playing games for 25 years (since the original Pong back before Atari), I must say that Master of Orion III is the worst game I have ever bought for full retail. I have some bargin bin games that were worst, but they only cost around $5-10 bucks. The worst part is that the store...

Ok right now I have no sound on my system. It is a 1.7 ghz Athlon with an Asus tec board (VIA chipset)with a Ge-Force 2 graphics card (I realize the card is dated). I have one sub-woofer and two side speakers (Creative Inspire 2.1). I use this computer at my office and can not add more...
