I use a modded Windows XP Pro x32...

Didn't try again XPx64.

But LongHorn 5048 is so SLOW...

CPU-Z Validation Page

All right, why not.

AMD San Diego 3700+ 1 mb cache processor, 2.2 GHz stock, currently at 2.71 GHz (247x11), although I've gotten to 2.8 stable. Tower112 heatpipe cooler with dual 80mm 32cfm fans.

DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D mobo with latest offical bios.

2x512 MB OCZ PC4000 VX RAM @ 2-2-2-6 latency, 1:1, 3.3V

BFG GeForce 6600GT OC GFX card @ 525 / 1100

74 GB WD Raptor 10k rpm hard drive, 5.2 ms seek time. I keep my OS and programs on this drive.

200 GB WD Caviar 7200 rpm 8.something ms seek time. I keep my music, movies, and other crap on here.

Both drives have aluminum heatsinks and dual 60mm fans.

Antec NeoPower 480W PSU. I love this thing.

LG 16x DVD+/-RW/RAM

Thermaltake SViking case with dual 120mm fans (1 intake 1 exaust)

LED fans and blue liquid neon cold cathode.

Currently running Windows XP Pro SP2 (on the raptor) and Linux Mandrake 10.1 (on a 20 gb partition of the Caviar). I'm thinking about trying XP 64 bit.

I think this processor could go faster if I had better cooling. I'm trying to decide which I want more, a water cooling kit and another 6600GT to SLI, or an X2 4400+. I could afford one or the other, but not both. :p Any opinions?

Anyway thats my system. I almost feel n00bish for posting this, but hey, what good is a nice PC if you can't brag a bit now and then? Thanks for listening, lol.

Peace,

Pete Zaria.

Dave - your config is almost exactly like mine, with two exceptions:

AMD Athon64 "Clawhammer" 4000+

Seagate ST380817AS 80GB SATA

eVGA nVidia GeForce6 6800GT PCI-E

Enermax 525w PSU

How did you get the info for your RAM Timings? I've been looking for the optimal settings ever since I put this box together. Thanks for posting those timings!
