Why didn't you step up to the big boys and get an A64?:cripple:

A64s are pointless, they really are.

Screw you, I take that personally :). Hey seriously though, go look at some benchmarks. Who cares about 64bit, they perform better at 32 bit than the 32 bit athlons, especially in gaming environments. SO SUCK IT! :flame:

A64s are pointless, they really are.

Scion's are overpriced, they really are.

Proc/HSF/thermal goop showed up today. Had some problems getting it to run, guess the computer was just being a bit tempermental.

I got more FPS in CS:S, so it was worth it. Im gonna try OCing it later on in the week.

[adam p]

cool, yo. BTW, I got a few more FPS with the Omega Drivers for my Radeon. BTW, is that stuff on lugnuts thermal paste? It looks like it.

Ive been having a lot of stability issues and I just realized I have 266mhz RAM. goddamnit. Need to order a gig stick of 333 :(

[adam p]

At least RAM is cheap. Good luck.

If it's PC 3200, I'd get it.

You may want to run a memory test, before you buy new ram though.
