Lookin' good, Spartan, except I've read that those 5450's are notorious for problems with the wireless signal to the rears. My 5500's are purdy neet! Wires be danged! :angel:

I don't know, and I hope I never get it. I'd hate to have to stop dreaming.

Its almost a pointless question, pretty much pick the most top of the line hardware out there and say thats what you want.

And if it's the latest, it won't be in a few months.

What is your Dream System?

Dual core laptop that has 2GB+ of RAM and has 5 hours plus battery life, includes Blu-Ray RW drive, Windows Vista and built in videoconferencing camera. Weighs nothing and comes with a backpack specially designed for it.

Also encorporating some kind of built in Wireless Broadband from Vodaphone or O2 or something as well.

Oh, did I mention PCI Express graphics and maybe the option of taking a second hard drive as well....

This is what I'm dreaming of, and I will have it soon! :bounce:

Conroe E6700, Radeon x1900xt, and a unknown motherboard,
added to the best of the stuff I have now.

I would have bought the 1900xt, but my DualSATA2 is kinda on the fritz. I would have a i975 modo now but Conroe support is very ify. Conroe will be out in Q3 this year. If you don't know Conroe read this (http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=206422). It will be better than Yonah, here's (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=90743) a Jonah on air running with a FX60 on vapochill. A Conroe on water will be amazing. :)

Mirob: I tend to stick to the wimpy 'victimless' piracy where the item is duplicated. Your piracy of entire computers is hardcore! Do you have a wooden limb and/or eye patch and/or parrot?

My dream system is this:

Intel Pentium 4 processor 3.2 GHz

4GB PC3200 DIMM Kingston RAM. (2GB x 2)

ATI Radeon X900 AGP(default, NOT INTEGRATED)

Dual CD-RW/DVD-RW 50x speed write.

5 fans for cooling plus water cooling system

500w psu

Windows XP Home(kinda like it :cool: )

This is probably worth around $4500, but i dont have a job, so it may nver come true :(

Oh well, at least the dream is alive :cool:
