AMD Athlon XP 1900
Abit KR7-RAID (133)
1024 MB PC-2100 DDR (2x512)
Soundblaster Live! Platinum 5.1 w/ Live Drive2

GeForce 2 Pro 64MB DDR and
Old ass 12MB PCI VC

Hey Sloth: you are the one to talk, I heard you have the worst system of us all, you have still not posted the specs here, I think you are hiding something, you seem to have avoided it. Go on, show us what you got. This could be a laugh.

yea, that explains some, (off my mirc script) you guys should get the picture, think HP bought at costco for 500 bucks, replace the monitor witha  17in sonic view crt(only temp, this monitor is going on my new system, and the old 15in one is coming back here) throw another 128 of ram in, and take out windows ME, and put in XP, and you got my system. ;)
