Ok I'll join in too.

MoBo: MSI KT3 Ultra Raid.
CPU: AMD 2000XP.
Ram: 512 MB of 333DDR.
Harddrive: 120Ghz Maxtor running at 7200.
GFX Card: GeForce4 Ti4600 with128MB.
SFX Card: Creative 5.1 Live.
Lan: NetGear 100/10.
CDRW: LG 8x/4x/32x.
DVD: LG 32x.
PSU: 450W switchable.
Monitor: Non-Branded 21".

Other Bits: Belkin USB Hub.
Logitech iTouch Keyboard.

I built this system myself, and a second PC out of my spare bit's, It's only a PII system with 128MB, So I'm not gonna bother you with it.
I also Have a 1Ghz Compaq Laptop.

Not gonna bother listing my software. Suffice to say I have over 60MB of Game's and about 30MB of App's. Perhaps another harddrive will be needed in the new year when more of these BIG games arrive.

Nearly Forgot.. Fujitsu ADSL External modem.

[pjknibbs]

So you also have the KT133/686b Via chipset ?
and the soundblaster live ermm 'issue'
I just recontly sacked the SB Live! tooo many problems,
I considered the Herculese Muse, but opted for the Fortissimo (it hits less on performance,, not that the Muse hts performance even remotely as bad as the Live!)

Friend at work reckons his SoundBlaster started running sweet as you like once he swapped his SDRAM for DDR-RAM (he's running an Athlon XP 1800+, I think), but that's not an experiment I can afford to make with a four-figure credit card bill and Christmas looming!

[pjknibbs]

So much for our government who caters for the main cities only and ignores us "bushies" who are too far away from them.

Trust me, the situation isn't any better over here--last time I checked 140 people (out of the 400 BT reckon will make it economically viable to upgrade the exchange to ADSL) had expressed an interest in broadband in my area, so at that rate I don't see myself getting a fat pipe until late 2004.

'Course, until then I can download really big stuff on the 2Mbit pipe at work and burn it to a CD to take home...

Is that it..? 60MB Games..? And 30MB Apps..?

My Games i share with my lil bros + My dad We must have like 50GIG worth of games! and then apps... well i duno but thats my dads section and the apps on my comp come to...WOW 1.10Gig..! thats a lot considering they are just small utils!

Paul, your Motherboard supports DDR ?
it IS possible that DDR wil help ONLY, because most of the problem is with 133FSB with Via chipsets but not exclusively, the Live! plain and simple is best left out of the computer if you are using a Via MoBo,
hehe you probably know all this already,
just took me no less than 6 re-installs of windows, countless moves of PCI cards, and at leaste a SOLID week of tampering with every variation of bios configuration and bios versions imaginable.
by the end of it I just shelled out for the hercules sound card and most problems have gone away

Things that helped, were disabling everything in the bios that would seem to make the computer run faster, ie 4xAGP, fast write mode, 4 way interleve etc etc., all disabled and I managed to get everything reasonably stable.

The Live! s main problem is the sheer amount of system resources it insists on taking up, and then hiding fromt the ACPI that it actually wants another IRQ and bunch of memory addresses it didn't declare at boot.. (ie SB16 emulation stuff including the gameport).

[pjknibbs]

Paul, your Motherboard supports DDR ?

Well, no--that's why it would be so expensive to switch to DDR, because I'd have to do a motherboard swap too...and of course if I was going to that extent I might as well stick a new CPU in there...and that old 8x burner is starting to look a little dated these days...and what about one of those cool aluminium cases I saw on that site the other day...

I think you get the idea.

Question: Where can I get 3dmark2001? - I had the one which did several 'game-like' tests for framerates etc. One included a dragon flying over a town - don't suppose anyone could tell me a link?

I'm sure I said this earlier in the thread, but here it is again:

[akrules!]

I have a pretty good computer...

2400+ AMD Athlon XP at 2GHz
512MB PC2100 DDR RAM
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9700 pro
60GB+20GB HDD
ASUS A7V8X Motherboard

I'd better be able to play X2 with lots if not all details enabled at 1024x768x32.

Its so nice being able to play UT2003 at 1152x864 with 2x AA and all details on maximum don't you think? (Im not joking by the way. seriously!)

You lot really should get a radeon 9700 pro. My dad got it for me as an early Xmas present, as well as the rest of my computer. Best xmas present ive ever got!

If you are going to get a radeon 9700 pro, you have to make sure it is revision 1.3 and nothing earlier or you will not be able to play any games as it will freeze literally a few seconds into any directx or open gl game.

EDIT: I havent been posting recently because I have been testing my new computer.
