For what you got the price seems decent (since you didn't build it yourself). Now compare what you have to Alienware www.alienware.com and you'll feel better about how much you spent.

The price isn't too bad for what you got, but I wouldn't have gone with a Compaq.

That's not bad Bone, especially with the X600 (still not up too much on the PCI-E cards)
I think you got a decent deal.

For free I gave it away.. Gave it to dank. 15 months later he threw it in the river, becasue he thought the FBI was after em and his hard drive would be looked at. LOL. This one better not be like that one in 2001. But My current home PC will still be around, and I bought a nice Fujitsu laptop 2 weeks ago for 2k that is unreal... I love it. I just hope this new one is a beast.

bp,
it depends on what you are going to do with that PC When you are going to use 3D studio Max and when you want to do some video editing then i would have taken a different card but it's a nice configuration The 2Gb RAM is kinda useless because Win XP only uses 1Gb of it max My  tb

Its double or tripple the price of any other speaker system. Way more than the competition's 5.1 speaker systems. But it seems its way more powerful.. 200 watt on the 2.1 alone. Shit better be good. Id rather have 3 powerful quality speakers than 6 or 7 or whatever the fuck those other speakers come with. I dont want speakers all over my office. I want quality and power with fewer speakers and this is supposed to be the BEST.

Can anyone else confirm for me the 2 gig of RAM thing??
That Win XP can only use 1 gig max anyhow so i just wasted my 200.00 or so bucks on getting 2 gig? I remeber hearling this back in the day with the older PC's and operationg systems but thought XP could use it?

Nice setup, I didn't know those 3.6 CPU's were even available yet. If I'd have seen that I might have bought it as well. Your system will smoke for video work with the RAID 0.
XP can use 2gigs of RAM no problem. Most boards can only support a maximum of 4 so the limit is the hardware not the OS. I just ordered a P4 Extreme Edition 3.4 CPU which I intend to clock up to 3.6. At these speeds the Intel chips are the fastest available. |

it will work fine with 2gb in it but i don't think you will ever use more than 1gb exspecially with win xp home running.
btw is it 2 x 1gb or 1 x 2gb Because when you have 2x 1gb you have at least dual channel (faster use of your memory) Tb

k i was only trying to tell you it's unlikely you are are to use more than 1Gb of that memory (your system will work fine with 2gb)
only while doing high scientific calculations or high end video editing your going to break that 1Gb of used memory Sorry about scaring you bp TB
