Well, I finally had enough of my old 533 mhz bus P4G8X-Deluxe which has gone pretty much as far as it can go what with it dropping IDE controllers an such. Well, that and seeing as I got made redundant on Fri from the latest idiocy in the US with their new illegal gambling laws I needed cheering up (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

My new Weapon:

CPU: Dual Core 6700
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6
Vid: 1GB Albatron 7950GX2
RAM: Geil Ultra DDR2 2GB 800MHz
Drives: 2x 74gb WD Raptors in RAID0
1x WD 320gb
Soundcard: Creative X-Fi Platinum

Got everything from Computer Alliance

If you need to spend $$$ on a woman to keep her happy, your doing it all wrong =)

Well not $$$, but the occasional $ or $$ doesn't go astray

but if it was $$$ constantly, i'd get a new one.

/derail.

I run an AMD. I got it cos it was the best price vs performance at the time

if intel is the new AMD, then i'd go intel.

Quadcore is coming out sometime in the near future.. Technology can be frustrating when it becomes obsolete and cheap in no time at all :/
