|  Will this system perform well enough? such as HL2, doom3,republic commando etc? Im talking blowing away lan parties and such, currently this would, but will it last? Should i go with cheaper 256 ram, and a better card? my budget is limited at 850$ us, Thanks for the input!

 | your gpu suxx donkey balls for games like halflife or doom you should at least get a 9800...and overclock it like hell cpu 3000+ is just as good since you can overclock it to 3400+ level

| this machine performs great, but if the PC has to last long then you should wait for the next-gen video cards |

| yeah, but my current is really flaky, i can't even hardly play halo gotta keep it 800X600 with everything else cranked. Got a TI 4200, 2400+ Im kinda anti-ati, just because ive never seen one in action, save an old 64 meg that sucks ***, I was considering the 5900xt, but when is the next gen coming around? |

| well, the nVidia 5900XT, a fairly chopped down version of the 5900 ultra, cost about the same as a 57u, and blows it and the 96xt away, totally and make sure that if you buy a seagate sata drive that you buy on that is from the 7200.7 series, because htouse are the first mainstream (non -raptor) drive to be designed from the ground up to be SATA |

| raptor is still using a convertor. so seagate is the first and only true SATA drive. |

| take a 5900 from leadtek and flash it to a 5950U and take a 3000+ 64bit. So it overclocks very good. asus k8v + nvidia = good overclock abit k8v max3 + radeon = good overclock asus k8v + radeon = bummer  for overclocking.
