Cash is rolling in from the new job and I have decided the old barton 2500+ needs to be overhauled.
Here is my list that I have started to pick out.
CPU
-AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor 2000MHz HT 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor - Retail
Does 1meg of l2 cache x2 make it that much faster?
Video cards
- eVGA 256-P2-N553-AX Geforce 7600GT CO 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail X2
Motherboard is gonna be an A-bit am2 ddr2 slino question about it.
possibly this

what is PATA? ata/sata combined?
Ram Thinking corsair xms
HDD already own 2 rapter 74 gig
It looks awsome mang.
My thoughts, get a 590/570 sli board. Also you could always go crossfire. The extra x16 slut may prove usefull in the future.
Does 1meg of l2 cache x2 make it that much faster? Yes it does.
As for video go cheep really cheep casue dx10 cards are right around the corner.
To complment your raptors get a segate 7200.10 hard drive they are almost as fast as the 74gb raprors you have and go from 250gb to 750gb
have a nice day
p.s. I hope to jebus you are gettign some ddr2 800 mem
p.s.s. BOOOOOOOOBS!
p.s.s.s what is your current rig's specs and are you willing to part with it? i may need some parts for a system.
ALSO I AM LATE IN POSTING THIS GG hope the new rig is awsome
