Tell me you're building it yourself.

[Triple Ace]

No I'm not building it myself. I don't think I have the funds or brains to build it myself. It is a custom built system though.

[Mars]

Funds -- it's usually cheaper to do it yourself

Brains -- you know it's "righty tighty, lefty lucy," right?

Sigh... oh well.

[Turey]

the fewer people who make their own systems, merely serve to make us look more intelligent by comparison.

the same can not be said for laptops. you'd have to be crazy to make your own laptop, unless you got one of those OLD laptop cases... the ones that looked more like suitcases than laptops...

My PC is:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+
512 RAM
Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 LE
40 GB Hard Drive

, my system is very similar to this one. Only my GFX card is in the PCI slot. But mine's got its own slew of problems... bangwal

I see a problem with those specs, Ace. You're using a Geforce 5 series card. That was one of nVidia's recent missteps. The 5 series cards didn't support hardware DDirectX9 D3D calls, and they weren't  so great with OGL either. Try at least a Geforce 6 series.
