Hello, my mushy friend...

I've been putting together a system for some time now, and now that the new intel processors are out I'm pretty much ready to place an order. The details are here : http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=3897971 My only concern is the video card - do I really need to spend the extra $100 for a 640Mb card or should 320mb work? I usually run most everything at 1280x1024, but I may start running everything at 1600x1200 once I get this system up and going.

640 MB is more of a "few months down the line" thing from what I've heard. But it'll be really useful, so you may as well get it.

Woohoo! System is on its way.

And hopefully the bonus check I get for this month will go to a new widescreen monitor

They dropped this week as a slap in the face to AMD

I was thinking about building that computer. I think I'm going to stick with what I have now until ~2.5Ghz Quads come out under $200 though.

Nice rig though.

Helldump and YCS are as far detached from BYOB/FYAD as BYOB/FYAD are from GBS.

Namely that Helldump and YCS are funny.

Helldump I'll give you. YCS is too much of people trying to be complete morons.

They're all circlejerks and yes that is exactly why 4chan exists. Why would you pay to post on a message forum in the same style as 4chan?

You realize how stupid of a statement you're making by posing that question, right?

Everything works fine except the ASUS onboard sound; it defaults the microphone to the front panel (And I NEED to use the back panel mic) and it has no way that I can see to change that.

I was planning on it, Mort, but eventually I got it working. I dislike this onboard sound card, but it's just temporary.

I love this system so far. It's amazing Like night and day compared to my old system. I'm determined to keep this system clean and updated, which I didn't do a good enough job at on my old PC. What's the best anti-spyware software available right at the moment? I'd always used Spybot S&D in the past, but is there anything better (And free) out there that anyone could recommend to me?

EDIT - Zane, if you get this build be sure to get a good sound card, the onboard is not very good.

EDUT 2 - Be aware, with the PSU on the bottom of the case you could have difficulties connecting the P4 4-pin power connector. With the PSU/Motherboard listed above, the power connector is stretched to its absolute limit. I'm actually getting one of these extensions to give myself more room.
