+ 512 MB DDR Ram (will be upgraded to 1024 shortly)
+ GeForce 4 128 MB

http://www.writings-emag.net The next big thing since individually wrapped cheese slices (coming soon).

Very nice. Better then my current:

AMD Athlon 850MHz
512MB RAM
40GB HDD (160GB on the way)
GeForce FX 5200 AGP 8x on 17" Monitor
2x Creative SB Live (Which hopefully I'll get working right soon..)
2x Voodoo3 3000 PCI on 15" Monitors
40x CD Burner
16x DVD

I mostly use it for recording and occasionally playing JA/JO and Freelancer, and web browsing. It does all that so I'm not upgrading.

AMD Athlon XP 1800+ @ 1.73 GHz
ASUS A7S333 mainboard (yuck)
512 MB PC-2700 RAM (2 sticks of 256)
ATI-built Radeon 9600 XT
17" NEC 16ms MultiSync LCD(1765)
Maxtor 40 GB HDD
CD-RW Drive
Onboard "3D" sound (through 2 speakers)
WinXP Pro
Standard speakers, standard keyboard, original IntelliMouse Explorer

The bluriness with my original graphics card (a Radeon 7000) was pretty bad. It almost seems like the LCD was being bottlenecked by it when you compare it to the 9600, which produces basically zilch as far as blurring goes.

I OC'ed it. It's running at 1.73 GHz right now. I would go higher, but I'm too afraid of my PCI stuff being destroyed (there's no PCI speed-lock.)
