I've been gone for the last 2 weeks because the NIC in my computer got all fucked up and I was too cheap to go buy one for $13 so i waited for 2 weeks till my friend gave me some crappy $2 one he got off the internet. It just pisses me off
Grrr fucking computer

dude I can't even unstand wut I say. I think it's the fact that I'm a geek and I stay up really late (it's 3 am here) so i can't think straight =/
I have a 2.4Ghz p4 calss B, pc2700 512MB of DDR-RAM, a Radeon 9600xt with 256 mb of V-RAM, 80 gig WD SE 7200 rpm, and some shitty ASUS board that had an on board LAN port that I was using b4 it shorted out >;(. pII = my uber shit server that i do some shit on =/
What are you talkin about Asus is one of the best MB makers out there...I myself have a Asus P4C800-E Deluxe which is aswsome except for the fact I was overclocking the other day at 4 in the morning and wasn't paying attention and shorted something out on the board so now my sound if fucked to hell, but yeah other than that Asus motherboards rock
My PC:
AMD Duron 1.8GHz (OCed to 2.0Ghz, or 2400+ speeds)
512MB Crucial PC2100 RAM
80GB Western Digital 7200 RPM Hard Drive w/ 8MB Cache
Visiontek Radeon 9600XT
Artec 52x24x52X CD-RW Drive
Artec 16X DVD-ROM drive
Soyo Maxpower 300w Power Supply
ASRock (Manufactured and designed by Asus) K7S8XE+ Motherboard
2 Arctic Cool Blue lighted case fans
TR2TT (Designed by ThermalTake) Tri-Color lighted CPU cooler
Mitsumi 1.44MB Floppy Drive
ThermalTake Blue Cathode
Aspire (Turbo Case) X-Dreamer II case with Digital Thermometer
Why do you hate Asus? They make the best damn boards on the planet! My motherboard kicks ass.

That's not too bad Hypertron...I have definitely seen worse...
Is that P4 a Wilamette core or a Northwood core? If it's a Wilamette, I feel verry sorry for you.
I'm getting a faster CPU soon so I can play my games, though.
If you do want to upgrade, I suggest upgrading both your CPU and video card. Everything else you can live with. Either do both, or none, because if you just do one without the other, your system will suck ass (I learned this the hard way).

HOLD IT! DO NOT GET THE PRESCOTT! IT RUNS HOT AND PERFORMS ONLY A HAIR BETTER THAN THE NORTHWOOD!
I think you should go AMD...They are faster and cheaper, and overclock much better. The new P4's are nice, but if you REALLY want power, fuck that single CPU shit, get a dual Opteron, Athlon MP, or Xeon setup. The HyperThreading technology is a load of bullshit, it still sucks compared to a dual processor setup. Hell, even a 3,2GHz Prescott would lose to the fastest dual Athlon MP system...dual CPU's are the way to go...if you can afford them. Tom's Hardware had an article on dual CPU Xeons, you should check that out.

Why don't you like AMD? Their CPU's run cooler and usually beat the Intel's on the benchmarks. I go AMD mainly because of the Price/Performance ratio.
Also, 64-Bit chips could mean we could finally emulate the PowerPC G5 processor and run MacOS on WinTel machines...That is, if IBM does not sue over the emulation software, like Motorola did.

b/c i would have to buy not only a new processor but a new MB and new RAM and the intel p4 EE beat the AMD 64-FX in most benchmarks...and actually prescott is best for overclocking because of the longer pipeline, although some people argue that it is slower but when your in the 3.0 GHz and higher you can't really tell a difference.
