OK, here's the details on my new Pimp Daddy Gaming Rig:

Motherboard

I had to go with this one because the A8N32-SLI Deluxe is not yet available wink

Graphics Cards

Pre-Tested and OC'd cards with the infamouse dust buster coolers wink

Memory

Kingston HyperX Dual-Channel Kit, 1GB, PC3500 smile

Power Supply

I need the extra power and connectors for this monster as well wink

Hard Drives
Hard Drives

So I'm getting a pair for Windows XP Pro (32-bit) for the main gaming OS. Then I'm going to dual-boot with Windows XP (64-bit) to test things out. I do beleive that Far Cry has a 64-bit patch already for their game and others will follow too wink

Chassis

I tried to recycle a Thermaltake chassis, the issue was the damn HD cage configuration. It blocked the graphic cards from being installed, DOH!!!

CPU laugh

The AMD Athlon 64-X2 4800+.

Intel Celeron 2.8ghz
160GB Western Digitial 7200rpm HDD
GeForce MX4000 128mb PCI Video Card
1024MB Ultra memory

Crappy old cdrom drive i had layin around
Ultra 300watt PSU
Onboard audio
built in a mid-tower acrylic case i built a few years ago.
lots of blue and red cold cathodes and led fans inside (he wanted it to look cooler than it is fast 8))

not bad for under 270 bucks. at least i was proud.

Just to add a wee bit of nostalgia, currently on:

DFI CA-64 TN
512MB RAM
Tualatin 1.26ghz(unlocked, actually 866mhz) @1.35
eVGA 6600GT AGP @583/1130
80gig WD Caviar

Plays FarCry with everything set to medium, a few options turned up to high.

NFSU1 all at high, crowds off, cause that's just BS.

FC gets me 28FPS average. NFSU gets 34FPS average.

I don't try to play a lot of newer games on this system, it's the kids' system, my new system comes at tax time, I'll post the specs when I get it.

In the mean time, this wee old beastie rocks, I'm still lokking for a dualie socket 370 mobo with an AGP slot, I have a matched pair of these unlocked 1.26 Tualatins, I'd love to set them both up on dualie board and see how they perform. smile

BTW, HL2, eyecandy cranked, 1024X768, averages 42FPS.

Damn, tax time is gonna be so sweet. laugh
