No, my problem is not tech related.  It's psychological.....but it is a psychological problem based on technology (and my love of it).

My name is KingLou......and I'm a Tech Junkie.

My system is pretty badass.  I don't know how I could want any more out of it.  It runs everything at max everything....and I don't personally know a single person that has a better system (yes, I'm sure some of you have better ones, but I don't know you).

My specs read as follows:

Mobo:     ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe
CPU:      AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Deigo (overclocked stable to 2.8 ghz on air cooling)
RAM:      4 gigabytes (4x 1gig sticks) of Corsair XMS
GPU:      2x eVGA 7800gt CO SE (factory overclocked) in SLi
PSU:      Silverstone Zeus 650 watt continuous, 700+ watt max SLi certified power supply
HD:        Western Digital 300 gigabytes.
SC:        Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS

I get pretty killer performance out of this rig.  My 3dMark05 scores at last test were 12,311.  In BF2 I get 90-100+ FPS continuously.

Also, I have never once had anyone be able to load a map and spawn quicker than me.  This is GREAT for getting the vehicle of your choice.  This has also lead to the occasional accusation of "hacking".......because I have spawned so much quicker than everyone else that I have already capped their main airfield (think Wake and Kubra) before anyone else on the other team has even had a chance to spawn.


So........what more could I possibly want?

Well, I guess I just want to spend my money........because I just decided that two 7800gts weren't enough.

Newegg had a killer deal on the eVGA 7900gt KO Superclock cards.  $309 with a 20 dollar mail in rebate (speaking of which, its a one day sale, so if you are looking for a new high performance card, you might want to check Newegg quick).

I bought 2.

Please.......someone help me.  I fear that someday when I have children, they'll get food only so long as my computer has the best components.


On a similar note........due to my addiction........I now have a few computer components for sale:

Two eVGA 7800gt CO SE factory overclocked cards
2 gigabytes of Corsair Value Select RAM (4x 512mb sticks)
AMD Athlon 3500+ 2.2ghz stock (you can OC this to 2.6 ghz with decent cooling)
So PM me of you're interested in any of the above components.

I thought about that.........but..........too expensive.

As for the person that asked about a raid set up.........nah, I don't think I'm gonna worry about that any time soon.  Too much hassle, and from what I've heard the benefits aren't astronomical.

why not watercool or phase change?  also you should get like a Dell 2405FPW to get a nice widescreen view as well.

nice system.

I thought XP could only support 4GB?

Unless he's using linux, which would practically defeat the point of having 2 x1800's??

Personally I do know a guy who has a pair of 7900GTX's, FX-57(apparently upgrading to and FX-60 soon), 4GB RAM, all with phase cooling and that sort of thing, really is astounding, all packed in a giant case and hooked up to 2 x 20.1' screens, and a load of other stuff I can't remember, only PC I've ever used that can max out oblivion while staying above 60FPS. But then he's spolit rotten so I don't feel so bad.

You boast about how you wanted to spend more money, have the best system etc...

Then you don't go full out crazy when you buy the parts and say something was too expensive,

Personally I think you should of bought these

www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130019

or

two 7900GTX's

Too much money?  It was probably a waste of money, and my motto is, if you're wasting money, might as well get the best, considering you will do this again when the 8 series cards come out.

And you're being a dick because.........why?

I'm not about "wasting money."  I try to find the product that is the best price vs performance.  The clock speeds on the signature series are not vastly high enough to justify the difference in price between that and the KO superclock...especially considering they had a one day sale on the KOs with a $20 mail in rebate per card.

And I'm not "boasting".........I was just trying to give my post a little more flavor than just saying "hey guys.....look what I got........the end."  If that's what you wanted..........then pretend that's what I said.

I'm sorry for being rude KingLou but I just found your post a little cocky.

This confused me a little -

"It runs everything at max everything"

"because I just decided that two 7800gts weren't enough"

-----

That is where I came up with the assumption of you were kinda spending money that didnt need to be spent but, hey it's your money, spend it how you want

ps. I love you

forget the raptors get your self 2WD   250 gb drives 16mb cache sataII

runn them in RAID0...nearly the same performance as 2 raptors. ive tested it with HD tach..RAPTOR only 15% faster on all test


half the cost

use ur 300 gb for mp3's , etc

And from what I've read even though they show healthy improvement in system testers there's very little to NO real world improvement with raid 0. 
please don't ask me to find the articles, it's been months.  I also have not tested myself so as always, don't believe everything you read on the internet.
