    New machine... Life is good

    Just built myself a new machine from the ground up...

    Must say I'm extremely happy with it so far:

    Motherboard = Asus K8V SE Deluxe
    CPU = AMD 64 3000+
    Graphics Card = ATI RADEON 9800 PRO
    Memory = 512MB DDR400 (may soon be 1 GB).
    Hard Drive = Seagate 120 GB SATA
    CASE = Antec Sonata

    Previous Machine:

    Motherboard = Aopen AX34
    CPU = P3 800EB
    Graphics Card = GEFORCE 3 TI 200
    Memory = 512MB PC133
    Hard Drive = Fujitsu 20 GB
    CASE = Aopen standard case

    Life is good ....

    Seriously its been extremely sweet. I had no idea things were supposed to load this fast or that my previously programs/games would get this huge a boost ( I expected some, just not this much).

    Plus I had to rma the samsung RAM, get some more locally, so when the replacement arrives I should have 1 GB of RAM
