I like to use twist ties and organize all the cabels better by tying them to each other and attaching it all to the case.Random__Guy

my cabling is terrible i know

i'll clean it up one of these days

We are all just spoiled with our C2D and our 8800 GTX. Your rig does not suck, its just not what someone would want to brag about on these forums, becaues, well, other people rigs here beat the crap out of it with one eye closed.supergamer1289

out of curiosity, do you choose to maintain this top of the line tech, year after year?

just a buy another gig of ram. that cpu you should still be fine for another couple of months, and then prices will be even cheaper. At the moment a cpu and ram upgrade for you isnt even completely necessary.Cozzie_92

now there's a logical answer

seems i have to be a level 3 member to post pics...

how do i obtain this?

fyi, pics are up on first post edit

....That CPU and the RAM stick out like sore thumbs, I expect those will bottleneck your computer.Runningflame570

yeah, they do.  the following are my "vista performance scores"

processor - 4.4

ram - 4.3

graphics - 5.9

gaming graphics - 5.8

primary hard disk - 5.5

Pentium 4 has been obsolete for around five or six years now and DDR RAM is on the way out..for good reason, DDR2 is better in every conceivable way.

There is really no excuse for using a P4 at this point in time, thats 2000 cutting edge tech there.Runningflame570

this is a bit of an exaggeration.  i built this machine around October 2003... so about 3 and a half years ago.  this particular p4 was top of the line then.  the p4 "extreme edition" came out soon after

does anyone have any cpu/ram upgrade suggestions that would work with my mobo?

thanks for the support fellas

i'm really diggin the tarantula/g7 combo... highly recommend both products

i'll throw some pics up once the forum lets me

[QUOTE="supergamer1289"]Why does this rig suck?Flame_Co

Because he's putting a pentium 4, 1gb of ram, and an AGP card in an expensive ASUS mobo. Sad...

i built this machine 4 years ago.  just put in the new vidcard and new inputs

hope this clears things up for you

And only one GB of RAM?supergamer1289

more ram is on radar
