I got my amd duron 750 in the mail today i just got to wait for the motherboard and i got a thermaltake fan.

Got my new case and firewire card/breakout box
still waiting on the 80 gig drives and the black floppy
here are some pics

nice, i just bought an ew monitor and a switch, gateway 17" osorta i gues like a flat tube i gues thats what you call it i got that for 25 and a 24 port plus 1 for the server switch for 40 it's a baystack 303
Here are the up to date system specs
Win XP software raid rules
my 2x 80 gig array gets 53 mbs read and 58 mbs writes

now i need to do some serious modding to this case
i want some cool fan grills and a window mod

yea it is funny how i just got $1000 dollars worth of computer equipment and all i want is more

That's probably how you explain overclocking.
heh
overclocking is the last thing i need in my computer
i wait to buy the fastest highest quality **** i can instead of buying cheep **** and running it out of spec or running into compatibility issues

That's only one step. Try running UT and see how long you can play that mofo before lockups. You'll know it pretty quick. Oh, and don't be a weenie and disable the background stuff, leave it on like it normally runs for cryin out loud. I like overclocking, but I'm not gonna go to watercooling just for that extra MHz or something. I'm a 'casual overclocker' persay. My first concern is stability before overclocking, then we talk overclocking (if board is made for it). I can't enjoy my overclock if the system won't run without crashing in UT.
I agree;
UT is the ultimate stability test.
This rig will run 3dmarks without crashing at 160 MHz fsb but UT will crash after a couple of minutes; it would run fine at 155.
For me, the ultimate-ultimate test is:
- open two instances of unreal editor
- load two of the largest maps you've got, one on each instance
- select all in one window of an instance and copy
- paste the first map into the other instance and move it so as to intersect somewhere to get a single huge level
- you should have crashed everything at this stage
- if not, build the new map with all options checked
- you should crash there
- if not, when it is built, test play the map from within the editor
- it should crash there
- if it plays fine, you have got a pretty stable rig
- you won't stop there and will launch prime95 or something similar
- if you can still test play the level, you've got a decent stable system

If you overclock right you have no incompatibility 'issues'
Authough i do see people that think that there athlon 1 @ 1.7 is stable just cos it manages 1 run of 3dmark *cough* madonion.com *cough*
Shame really
I think you misunderstood me
I was not implying that overclocking causes compatibiliy issues
I was implying that buying 2nd rate hardware like via causes compatibilty issues.
I have seen plenty of people with their oc'ed athlon systems who claimed that they rocked and would stomp my p3 dually. The fact of the matter is they don't. People are so concerned with processor speed and graphics cards that they have forgotten how much performance you can acheive with a well balanced system.

I agree. Overclocking is fun, so long as you can continue to do your stuff without problems. An overclock is worthless if it prevents you from using your system. I only overclock one machine, and I'm satisfied with the overclock. However, the other machines can run games just fine. Most games don't even require a 1GHz CPU to run fine. I've got the only system with a CPU running at over 1GHz. Most systems here at home run 800MHz CPU's and 2 run even slower ones. Save the 450MHz P3, the other systems can game pretty darn well, including the laptop.

I wasn't only talking about gaming as that is only one of the many tasks my computer is used for. I need stability and speed for video and graphic editing to put food on the table. So naturally high quaility parts that run in spec and last a long time are a must for me.
Yeah, certain hardware is crucial for certain apps. For me, it doesn't matter save my tastes.
