Cool, we almost have exactly the same specs (except I have less disk space, slower connection, and no DVD).

Well mine are in my signature. Not great but it does the job (fairly) well. Its a bit slow now, but money's tight and I can't afford a better graphics card.

It cost me less than £700 a couple of days ago brand new(about $1000 )..... except i already had the monitor....


Thats wot u get for shopping around for components instead of pre-built machines!

I used to have a pre-built Hewlett Packard, it had an awfull intel810 intergrated graphics solution. The only thing good about the set-up was the monitor which i still have, what is worse my computer now is greatly more powerful than my old HP but it only cost a fraction of the price (£450 about a year ago)

No, no heatpipe.
Oh, and by the way, I got 9788 in 3Dmark (without overclocking CPU or GFX card)...

I would build my own machine but it seems pretty complicated to build from scratch. I have added components like graphics and sound cards before but going the whole hog seems a bit of a daunting task.
I'll give it some considuration though as the machine i'm using at the moment is only a intermediate machine as our old one ( a pre built Tiny machine) took a run and jump.

A_M, you should be getting well over the 12000 mark on 3dmark (unless u r running 1600x1200)!!!!!!!!

Erm, no I shouldn't, not with the standard settings (1024x768x32) and not without overclocking/tweaking lots. Are you sure you're not thinking of a different version of 3dmark (you get a LOT more with 3Dmark2000 than 2001SE)?

According to the 3dmark website, scores go up (in 3dmark2001se) to 13402 for an athlon xp 2000+ with geforce 4 ti4400 at 1024x768x32


I really should run 3dmark sumtime - i have the leadtek geforce 4 ti4400 card (2 fans and a giant heatsink http://www.gamingin3d.com/reviews/A250/card1.gif and overclocks to 305/665 from 275/550 - perfectly stable in a 100 hour test according to reviews..... the ti4600 runs at only 300/650!!!!!!)

forgot to write:
(Although that score of 13402 is obviously overclocked, but there are still scores well over 11000 that are not overclocked at all)

(btw, are there no 'edit post' features on this new forum??? very useful feature!!!)

I just flashed my bios, so my 2100+ processor is actually working at it's proper speed now - (unflashed, the mobo can cope with 2000+, but now it can cope with 2600+)....

right now i have
-- AMD Duron2 800Mhz | 512Mb 133Mhz Ram | KT133/6x86-B
-- 17" CTX XT700 | GeForce2 Mx 200 32Mb AGP | C-Media 8378
-- Seagate 60GB ATA100 5400 | Maxtor 40Gb ATA100 5400
-- Philips DvD-Ram Industry 2400 | Philip CDRW 1600
-- Creative WebcamGO Plus! | Mustek 1200USB+ (XP no like)
-- WinXP Corp 2600 SP1 | DirectX 8.1b | Detonator4 40.73UB

not the best by far... but good enough for alot of what i do

the one i had a few days ago was pretty sweet though -
-- AMD Dual AlthonXP 2.5Ghz DDR | 1.5GB DDR Ram | AMD768
-- 21" CTX TFT2100 | SLi Quattro XGL 128Mb DDR AGP
-- Creative SB Audiology Platinum 5.1 Cambridgeworks
-- IBM 160Gb 5400 ATA133 | IBM 160Gb 5400 ATA133
-- [DvD-Ram & CDRW are now in my current system]
-- [WebCam & Scanner also kinda on my current system]
-- WinME/WinXP Home/Win2000 [fully updated]
-- DirectX 8.1b Debug | Detonator4 30.83

Alot of the hardware is still being tested for current infections, and hidden stuff - only reason certain things are on my new system are cause they've been cleaned already, was using an old Creative CDRom 48x to install things. And the monitory broke down, well lol by that i mean my cat was fumbling about my computer desk and knocked it off - TFT screens don't like hitting the ground [img]http://members.lycos.co.uk/TimeSaga/smile
