The reason I asked him for WCPUID screenshots is because I don't believe him. I will if he shows me them screens.

What's even funnier about wusy's posts is the grammar in his sig is horrible. Everything is spelled correctly though :p

You can follow the link in my signature (It's the Gaming system, Athlon 800) for my system. I gaurantee that my system would beat yours like the red headed step child that it is.

Disclaimer: This is not an insult, just letting you know that you could use a video upgrade. (so could I for that matter)

yeah, lol thats gonna be tough to beat!

I built the 800 i used above for my kids ( i have three)

the 1200 i am in the process of building now , i have the kt7a-raid board and 2 more 128 mb sticks of the mushkin cas 2 rev 3 memory as it was cheaper to buy 4 128 modules ( $399.00 including shipping and tax) than one at a time $ 113 each,
and the motherboards i saved a few bucks buy buying two at a time, i really bought 4 of em. he he

for cooling im thinking about a peltier or something, thats what everyone ive spoken to has suggested, i dont know anything about them but i bookmarked a few places to go back and research, that and i read grizzly's post on cooling his chip......sorry griz 8<

anyway its going to be fun to research and build , i will let ya know via some new posts when i find something kooooooooool,
sorry couldnt resist.

new stuff: TBird 900 in the mail, gonna oc it to the highest i can get while still stable with a fop38 coolin it and some artic silver 2 grease. on a a7v133 with 512 meg pc133 cl2 ram (gonna install win2k obviously and play with linux). sb live! value oem card. ibm 75gxp 45gig 7200rpm uata 100 hd in the mail. housed in a 4Q full tower for only $47 (i gipped the case, but i really didn't care anyhow, just matters how it works for me, it has a good 300w psu in it). cooling with 1 120mm 131cfm sunon fan on intake(filter) and 2 92mm 55cfm/fan sanyon denki's on outake.

old stuff: dell/trinitron p990, 18" viewable, optimal res 1024 x 768 at 75 Hz or 85 Hz, max res 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz. using my old viper II v770 d (riva tnt2) with 32 meg, i know that sux, but i don't plan on playing too many games, but if i do play some, it's worked fairly well in the past for me. plextor 12/10/32A. iomega zip drive. possibly a dvd. linksys 10/100 ethernet card hooked up to 1.5 Mbps dl/ul cable. acs495 speakers. hp deskjet 882c. APC back-ups pro 650. m$oft optical mouse. regular kboard. floppy, etc.

possibility for raid 0 if i pop in another good hd (a7v133 supports it i think?).
