PS : What time is it over in your neck of the wood? Get some sleep, bud.:)
Its not two bad, I`ve desided to get what I have listed above and then I`m going to take a 18 month rest from doing anymore upgrades and mainly playing games.;) Although when I get everything together, I will be trying for 20K before I take my extended vacation. :DQuote:

I can go with that, breaking 20k's like the Holy Grail for us lowly OCers - ranger, V man and C man are a bunch of nutz :eek: - so go for 20k and take a well-deserved break after that!:) I've achieved my goal so you won't see me benching anymore - not until A64FX51 and nForce3 mature, and ATI's R420 Loki with PCI Express(I think) is available. I've put aside $5k for this new rig by mid of next year. :)Quote:

*drool* $5k, is that $5k USD? You could get like 4 prommies and cool everything (find a way to cool your ram or something) and then still have money left over for an awesome rig!
Crazy??:D :D Are you insinuating the Cryocooler I tried to order last week is a little too much? That -150C cooling goodness that slipped right through my fingers. Oh well, being crazy can be fun some times:DQuote:

Well, you know me I will be buying one at 1/3 of that cost and be nipping at your heals with my 3D Mark scores. :DQuote:

20k on a 9800np is at least as hard as 16k on a ti4200, you will need very high fsb(220+) and like 2.5GHz+ on the barton, dual channel, 1:1 at 2-2-2-5 ram timings and a nice overclock on the 9800 for 20k marks. those last 2k is a long way to go. for me, even getting to 15k will be a monumental fest. If the ram I get doesnt work or cut it, guess ill just give it a rest and wait till mid 2005 for the a64 to mature and be cheap then just dive for 20k on my ti4200 :cool:
I know that, that is why I never say, I am going to do it. I say that I will try to do it. ;)Quote:

15k on a GF4 4200 and your setup is cake...Quote:

Come on I get over 14k with a 100% stock setup!
And 20k on a 9800NP is very easy.. Since a nice flash would change it to a 9800Pro and the overclocking potential is just as great...
How does, flashing a 9800np to a pro help it to OC more.Quote:

That's local $ - works out to about US$3k - I've already found an AMD64 3200 + nForce3 setup for around $1k only - local $$$ - BUT the C man talked me outta it!:p IF not, I'd be the 1st Sharky to ownz one...;) :) Sighs...*thinks of all the bragging rights lost*:( :DQuote:

PS : OTOH, I've already placed an order for an N-Gage to satisfy my urge to splurge....:o
Bah, N-Gage looks like a waste of time! Return it and get the A64! Hell, get the FX! :D :D :D
I gotta have something to play with - other than myself :eek: . HeHeHe! Besides, the gfx on the N-Gage isn't half bad. I'll still take the AMD64FX51 + nForce3 + R420(?) route next year.;) :)Quote:

Oh hell Mikey, buy the FX and give me the butt whipping i deserve:D :D
Whoa there, that's kinky! I didn't know you're into the SM scene. :eek: :eek: I don't do whips....BUT, I do have a ratten cane if you're really into that sorta thing....:p :D My N-Gage's gonna come on the 7th, so I'll be into mobile 3D gaming goodness!!!:DQuote:

Edit to add : What's really holding me back is the fact that I want to have a giant leap in 3D gfx and 'Loki' seems to be card to get. Hopefully 'Loki' will do what the venerable 9700Pro did for gfx cards/3D gaming.:)
