out with the old, in with the new

[ct06033]

so, ive been playing cs:s on a 5 year old dell specs as follows:

p4 2.26ghz no HT
512 RDRAM (the stuff that was supposed to replace DDR)
geforce 4 4200ti 64mb
520gb hdd

so.. after being fed up with 20-30 fps average.. i decided to upgrade to this (to arrive on tuesday)

amd x2 4800+
asus a8n-sli premium
2gb corsair xms ddr400 2-3-3-6
2x evga 7800gt OC 256mb in sli
2x raptors raid 0
2x 250gb sata2 storage hdd
antec truepower2 550w ps
dual ibm trinitron 21" crt

i have to say, after this i will never be able to complain about lag...

im going to document the build process for a friend, if anyone wants to see it, i can post it here by request.

happy hunting, Ct06033

Just wait five years and you will find that lag is not an issue. There will be many other things that will cause us grief by then. "The future has a way of undermining todays confidences." A Bait original self quote.
