W)00T! New computer!

I finally got to upgrade.
I got the k8we with 2 opteron 254's (2.8Ghz)
and a 7800GTX OC by BFG + 4 GB of RAM.
I hope this is enough to play BF2.
Before the flames start, yes I know BF2 is n't multithreaded, but I do other things with my computer, like run FreeBSD/Linux, and use Windows for other things that take advantage of dual procs.

4G of RAM!? That is huge. I run BF2 with 1G. I hear 2G can improve gameplay. I bet the 7800 will be great.

Nice rig. Components that powerful will probably cause all the lights in your town to dim slightly when you fire up your computer!

Uh.. damn. I wish I had HALF the cash you laid out for that. How much was it anyway? If you don't mind my asking.. round figures if it's easier to say.

Well I finally got BF2 on it. It looks like a movie! wow. 3d Mark is 8265. I think that's fine, but I guess I could get better? I don't know. It rocks, so I don't really care what my 3d mark is at the moment. I'm running 2003 server for now, just to test, I'll be loading XP SP2 soon. I also tortured the heck out of it with memtest86 and looping burn in tests from Sandra and now 3d Demos for Nvidia, not a single hickup or lockup, this is my first really super stable rig. Anyhow, yeah I spent a bit, but I hope to not have to update for a while.
I'll get a picture soon, right now its laid out on a dinner table, bare to the world, just MB, harddrive, cd-rom, and cards plugged in. As far as price, well look on newegg for a wishlist call neo's new clothes.

That is about 3.5 times MORE than what I built my new pc for about 5 months ago. Mine is decent... but damn.. I feel a might green for some reason. LOL
