| n00b-ass reviewer  | I'm telling you, you got the fever. Your system is fine right now. If you can squirrel away some money you will be able to get an FX card, a Hammer CPU, and a board that supports it next summer. If you hold off, it will be the rest of us who blew our wad on current technology who will be jealous. | |

| Apex Elite Expert Tech  | I have to agree with them. Im running a athlon 1.4, 512 of pc2100, a ti4200 128mb and I was thinking about upgrading right after christmas but these guys kinda changed my mind. Not that I want a Hammer. Im gonna be looking at a highend t-bred or barton and atleast some cas 2 333 and Well for graphics Im not sure. Right now its the 9700pro but If the benchmarks for the geforcefx are as good as everyone thinks they will be I might have to go that rout. So all and all Im probably gonna squirrel away too. | |

| Apex Elite Expert Tech | lol...Well the only thing I can say since youve already decided is to maybe get some fast ram. PC2100 kinda bottlenecks as the P4 gets fast. If I was to build one today Id go with nothing less than PC2700. If youve got enough money laying around get some pc3200 and if your board will support it. | |
