Well, the computer was having some issues (motherboard related), and with the Tax Refund, looked like it was time to upgrade and fix it. Just put in an Athlon 64 3000+, MSI k8T motherboard, 512mB pc3200 RAM, ATI Radeon 9600XT. I didn't go with them to buy it, so im not quite sure why we ended up with the 9600 over waiting for a good sale or price on a 9800PRO. Anyway, finally got it up and running, and hot damn! is it nice. Just picked up a Seagate 160GB SATA hardrive, but haven't installed it yet. I wasn't inittially looking at one that big, but when all is said and done, it came out to under 100bucks, so i figured it was worth it.

Not too thrilled about my 3dMark and PCMark scores yet, but once i wipe the drives, and toss in the new Serial ATA drive, tweak all the settings to how i want it, it should be a fun system.
