All thanks to NewEgg, with exception of the speakers, for less than most of those crappy Dell systems you see. :D

Yea to be honest, we need to do benchmark tests. (Hey, slower AMD chips kicked faster Intel chips asses somehow. Search google if ya dont beilieve me)

Umm, I suppose that is true, but that could be based on Mhz only.
i.e. a 2400+ AMD chip could be matched aginst a 2.0 P4 only because a 2400 runs at a 2000 Mhz. In that case of course the AMD would win.

But yes, do you have PC Mark perhaps? Im sure your familar with www.madonion.com just get the free version from there if you dont already have it.

You guys / gurls are talking out of your arses !!!....I've been in the pc game longer than you can imagine..processor power is not the end all and be all, either are GFX cards....at the end of the day it depends on how YOU know your system works....money ain't everything chaps...lol....GROW UP

MINE IS THE FASTEST

AMD Athlon Classic (Slot A) 750
512 SDram
GF4 ti4200
55gb hdd

well, at least it WAS 3 years ago :P

@prozac : given yr long exposure to gaming, you should know that processor/gfx/ram are THE issue when it comes to games.

i dun see how knowing how my systems works is going to solve my problem of a laggy UT2003 @ 1024*768
the only solution i see is a new com with better specs, like wolf's ^_^

does your board have onboard lan?
my board (asus a7n8x) has dual onboard lan and i had a little problem installing the drivers for my 3com LAN port, the drivers on the board driver cd don't seem to be correct. they must be though, cos i had it working before i formatted. any people had problems setting up their 3com lan port on their asus a7n8x?
very nice comp by the way, the next thing i need to buy for mine is a new video card, i've still got a geforce3 ti200, it's kinda showing the rest of my system up  :(

I have that exact same motherboard/gfx card. Haven't noticed the ti200 slowing me up though - its a decent card - make sure you have plenty of RAM and put the same amount into both channels to take advantage of the dual DDR on the motherboard.

I didnt have any problem with the onboard LAN - put in the driver cd, clicked a few buttons and hey presto....

i got the lan problem sorted. i made an educated choice as to what drivers to install (really a guess, but it worked :D ). sorry not to say.
what cpu do you have fletch? i've got the 2700. i'm not really disappointed with performance, i can still run every game i have, but i just want a faster video card (probably a 9700).
i only have one stick of ram (512MB Corsair XMS3500 (running at 333MHz 2-2-2-5)
are you running two sticks of ram, and if so, do you think it's worth me buying another stick of ram (the same as my other one)?
