Last winter I decided to upgrade my 6-yr old Dell 733 Mhz figuring it was long overdue. What got me started was a Christmas wish list over on ExtremeTech. Here's the specs: Antec Anodized Aluminum Mid-Tower (P160) Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe (nVidia 4) motherboard AMD Athalon 64-bit X2 dual core (4200) Twin nVidia GEForce 6600GT cards 4 Gb memory Two Seagate Barracuda 250 Gb IDE drives (still can add a pair of SATA 3/Gbs drives with dual RAID) Dell 20-in flat panel HD monitor It turned into a long afternoon/evening...
