AMD Athlon 2.1Ghz
1.5 Gig of kingston pc-3200 ram
Audigy 2 ZS sound card
Nvidia 5900XT 128MB video card
1 60GB 1 40GB hard drive
Aspire X-SuperAlien Case ill never use this case ever again.
Dont got money to add anything more, cuz summer school sucked 400 of my already draining bank account. So im done with gaming for awhile cuz i need to replace all 6 fans in the case. Cursed air compressor.

O and the MOBO is a gigabyte GA-something (they dont make it anymore or the dont support it on their site)

I hope you enjoy ur stay man.

P.S. Still no drivers license


forget to hold the fans still while sending 90PSI through em?

Note the timing.  No lights tho. :bigcry:

2 x 256 sticks of that Kingston wasn't enough memory for me, so I added a 512 stick of the Mushkin.

Just my humble opinion.

PS-seemed like there was a bit of a "break in" period on the Kingston.  Maybe I just imagined it though. :smoke:
