see, if i told you, it would ruin the surprise! its just cheapo stuff, nothin special, really. you could pop in the cpu, and then jack up the fsb, see how fast you can burn the sucker out. its a 1600+ running at 1.9ghz, teeny little fan on her.
the mobo is an XFX KT400-ANB |

OI!
ok.
Thermaltake Extreme Volcano 12 For AMD Athlon XP
^is a fan, fits over the processor, keeps that mother cool.
Gigabyte 7VT600-1394 Socket A Motherboard
^is a motherboard, contains connections for memory, cpu, hard disks, floppy disk, cdrom, etc.
US Modular Dual Channel 512MB PC4000 DDR 500MHz
^is memory. dual channel means that it is installed in pairs (2x256MB) and the 500mhz/PC4000 means that i can jack up the Front Side Bus (FSB) high on my cpu without worrying about burning out the
memory.
AMD Athlon XP3000+ CPU Barton Core 400FSB
^processor. Athlon processors do more work per clock cycle than pentiums do, so the 3000 is not its speed, its the equivalent pentium's speed. this processor runs at about 2.6ghz (if im wrong, somebody correct me) and it is just as fast (theoretically ;)) as a pentium 3.0ghz.
This guy just looks cool.

Does that mean your stuff isnt coming till your leave is over? Obviously, either way, youre going to have little time to enjoy it before youve got to go back.
Also, dont forget to start saving some of that cash. Bank that !
Let me know here or via PM, or MSN when your time is up? Or are you planning on a military career? If weve breached these topics before, forgive me, it's been awhile. |

Cool and good for you! Need a 3.2G P4 at least now. Athalon hasn't yet figured out with its 64 bit compatible chips that Bill Gates hasn't released the Windows 64 bit operating system, so they're out there flapping with any of their purported 3+ type chips. Intel has the chips to support, but why release them like Athalon did last year and particularly since Windows 2004/2005? still ain't ready for release? Intel will for a fact quite literally smoke Athalon once the 64 bit Windows system finally hits the market. Anyhow, you got a great system going, no doubt. Would hope you have a NVIDIA 6800 or Radeon X800 Pro video to go along with it if you're into gaming. If not, a less than top of line video will suffice if you got at least 1G RAM as the tradeoff. Trust me, I got all kinds here with 4 computers on line at the house.
:wtf:

If you're a heavy gamer I'd recommend an athlon 64 3200+ (1Mb of cache, socket 939). Mostly because of its on-chip memory controller (Hypertransport)... they don't use FSB, so data gets to and from the chip faster.
But seeing as you've already ordered it, that should do fine as well
My system is intel based, but if I was buying a new one at this moment, I'd go athlon-64 all the way.
Although those Dothans look promising from intel. :D |

The Athlon 64 3200+ doesn't clock at 3.2G so what's the point? Have had the Athlons in the past and am currently undecided on which way to go until the 64 bit Windows is released and see what Intel surprises us with in the 4-5G range as well.
