I only use this one now.
And about the Plat 5.1 - the guy who bought my old machine wanted it too...he did pay me more though

Re: *bump*

Is that the kt266 board ? Why haven't you upgraded it yet ? You'll get much better performance with a kt266a/kt333 board. That thing was almost slower then then the original kt133 boards.

Re: *bump*

Hey it's my copyrighted nickname !!! I'll write a mail to WD to ask them to remove it from their HDD names !

All specs are in my sig except for:
Os - Win98SE
Internet - 384\384 DSL
Network - Onboard NIC and a Netgear FA311( I get to be the switch in our home network)
Audio - Onboard(Surprisingly good)
3Dmark score - ?? haven't installed it yet, ive only had this setup for a week and haven't been home much.

That was a typo on my part, Al.

I haven't upgraded the kt266 cuz I HAVE NO MONEY!!!!

Just got my new case...

It's a Thermaltake Xaser II 5000...

If you read (or click) on "My Rig" down at the bottom, I put two plugs in for Tech Spot. I just thought thanks was in order.

I like all this, it proves that its not necessary to have the latest to do most stuff, the oddest theme that is evident is that regardless of work stuff, people who make their rigs cannot help but to make yet another out of the spare parts regardless of the lack of spec, just a challenge to make it work.
