6800 GT 320$ 6800 230$ at microcenter

No, but in Doom 3 (the engine), the 6800GT is sometimes twice as fast as the X800 Pro, with 38.4 vs 19.1 FPS. See here. The X800XL is much more competetive thanks to its 16 pipes with 28.5 FPS (almost as much as the X800XT).

6800 GT 320$ 6800 230$ at microcenter

The X800XT is much faster than the 6800GT and Ultra in several applications, so I suppose its worth the extra money. Comparing it to the X800 Pro, the benefit of the 6800GT is the lower price, 16 pipes, and 3.0 Shaders (which matters to me because AOEIII supports it, as will other games...

[Dead] CompUSA: 8/22-8/28: Toshiba Satellite Notebook - $799.97

Celeron is on a quad-pumped bus, so that 400 MHz is really an FSB of 100. It's using PC2100 DDR RAM (133/266DDR) because even the crappiest PC1600 back in the day would do PC2100, so they ended up making the PC2100 the slowest speed.

OC Frys 8/20 $49 AMD Sempron combo

Nice stuff since it's cheap, but I find the whole rating mess to be a big problem these days. Celeron/Sempron/Duron should be rated on a seperate scale then "MHz", because it's really BS when a 2.8 Celeron is slower in games then a P4 2.0...

I have an i350. It's quite decent. Bought it retail for $50 a while back. It came with a color and a black cartridge, and new cartridges are less than $8 at Staples. All in all it's quite good, and the cheap ink means my old Lexmark will just sit in the closet (a Lexmark ink tank costs about...

I have the 2200+ Mobile from newegg and it's a Barton. Does 2.4 no problems on moderate cooling, and 2.3 with a Panaflo and lower voltage easy (and to top it off I don't have AC and its 90F). :)

OMG! AMD Athlon 3400+ Reduced Prices

3500+ is still expensive at $399, waiting for that to come under $200 later this year according to AMD's roadmap. 3000+ is a good deal, especially with MSI board combo $20 savings, so ~$242 with board total.

HD PIO mode vs UDMA

Have you tried putting one drive on the second chain and seeing if C:\ is still PIO? It would still be better to have one HDD per chain (I'm guessing one would share a chain with an optical drive) for disk to disk copies.

Yet another "Should I OC my 2500" thread

I prefer SpeedFan for it's simplicity over MBM (which is now discontinued). The 2500+ to 3200+ bump should be easy. My 2200+ Barton XP-M does 2.3 with quiet cooling on a cheap, generic 300W PSU.
