Amd 3000+, 1024 MB Corsair PC 400, Radeon 9800 Pro (128 Mb), 40 GB Maxtor Diamond Max 7200 RPM, Some MSI mobo, MX 700 Mouse, Sounblaster Live 5.1 (i know shitty soundcard but thats from my old PC), Coolermaster Silent Cooler Aero 7 Lite i think it was.

i already bought it and it's coming tomorrow so u can;t bitch about it being wank cause i can't change anything anymore

Oh and my mom bought a 17" Ilyama TFT screen .

Pretty good aint it ? Please just say yes

liqqy i hate u allready.

nice spec tho

Yes thats pretty good Liquid, I doubt it will improve your CS any though

hmm the rumour goes that the more FPS you have the better you are at CS... could be all false ofcourse. And maybe the mx700 will help too... or not

Very nice but it's not going to help you get laid

I would have gone the pentium route as well. I've got a XP2800+ with a Rad 9800pro and I find the CPU holds me back.

i've got a gf u know... 5 months almost

and she's pretty as hell

And only slightly rubber.

That PC of yours should be fine Scrappy, I think your not using it right. Get at least 1 gig of mem in there.

guys my new comp is coming in this afternoon... now they aint put XP on it as i got it here at home and i aint gonna pay 40 quid for them installing it for me.

But i don't know how to make partitions... like 1 of 20 GB and 2 of 10 is what i'd like i think

But how do i do that? Just turn PC on and make it go to c: and then fdisk and follow the instructions? or should i install windows? or can i do it from windows cd?

correct

Nope, not correct.

Widows setup will give you a menu which is one some ways similar to fdisk, it will ask you to use the whole disk, or create partitions, simply do the latter.

You can't get to a c: prompt from XP setup unless there is a version of XP already installed and youre attempting to repair it.

Didnt know windows set up gave you that option,why is fdisk incorrect ?

fdisk is a console utility, and as I explained, windows setup does not have a console unless it's in repair mode.

If a hdd is new and has had no os on it cant u get to fdisk at all then or a c: prompt ?

Nope, you can't.

Not without an old dos based boot disk with fdisk on it anyway.

These days all OS's come with partitioning utilities built into the setup program that will let you do just about anythign fdisk can.

Your other option is to temporarily stick it in a PC with as a slave and use fdisk or windows disk manager on it.

all becomes clearer now.

I wouldn't have gotten a 3000+, but nice spec.

sav explained me how to do it... just like mani said

anyhow
the ****ers didnt have the bulk version of the 9800 pro anymore... so they said yea... you can wait till tomorrow, or pay another 30 quid and we'll give you the official version... i said hmm lemme think... tempting... but i guess i'll come tomorrow.

****ers tbh. i even waited in line for 45 minutes

and then there was this lady... and this selling dood totally made her buy stuff she didnt need. Like she only wanted to use it for writing txts and surfing... and he goes on telling she needs a 2.4 GHz and a cd writer and 512 MB memory AND!!! a 5.1 SpeakerSet... i was like wtf. poor lady

anyhow... off to bed -x-

Hard sell all the way baby !!

Should have bought a 2600+ for half the price and just clocked to 3000+ speeds. Wouldn't have been a huge increase in temperatures, and would have saved you loads.
