Well everything seems pretty good for an average pc but I do however recommend that you substitute a 1GB of RAM for the 512MB if you are into serious gaming...btw what about the most important feature...a floppy drive man.

I was thinkign about that i heard PRW has some 1giga and about the flopy drive LOL i dont use that i rather use Cd-Rw or Dvd-Rw i fed up get bad floppy

that system roxor!!!!!


 just flash your vid card or bios mod it and you got a 5900 ultra.

www.omegacorner.com , get the latest nvidia drivers, uninstall the old ones, restart, install this and choose the "soft mod driver" if it supports the 5900SE-5900 ultra soft mod

Get a Athlon 64 3000. Runs much cooler than that 2600

Faster .. for .... wha ?

wanna go faster, get a better processor, or try overclockin that one if u want ... though with heat problems, u should check and see if that heatsink is attached properly( with a good spread of thermal grease )
Could probably go double DDR too for some extra speed, would need a nforce2 mobo though .. or maybe kt880   ( kt880 be sweeeet )

for the heat, maybe your computer case is clustered , with three hard drives and 2 ( or 3 ?) optical drives, i your case is probably pretty jumbled up. even if you have one of those big server cases...

check your airflow, make sure there is a clear path from the front fan(s) to the backfan(s) .... well as clear as possible atleast..

how many case fans you got in there anyway ?
from those specs, you should have about 3 or 4 ....                    

[unforgiven]

try getting a volcano 9 fan/heatsink or something for the cpu....

[Omikron]

I had a Gforce5200  gave it away its only after installing the 5900 and the 3rd hardrive i started getting a heat problem. iam using the stock fan with the processor so i guess ill get the Volcano 9 fan. As for airflow i have one in front pushing in and on the side also and 2 at the back pushing out
