If you can find one (They are a pain to find because AMD is phasing them out) try to get the clawhammer version of that CPU. It has 1 meg of L2 cache. It's clocked at 2.0 GHz rather than 2.2, but shows about a 10% - 15% improvement in performance due to the larger cache.:thumbs:
If you can't...
~AMD A64 3200+ (Stock)
~Gigabyte k8ns pro MB
~512 pc3200 DDR Kingston HyperX Ram
~Gainward 6800 GT o/c'd to 375/1025 (could push it to ultra, but right now there's no need)
~120 GB Maxtor Boot drive (XP Pro)
~200 GB Maxtor Backup drive (handy for all the sweet mods that will be popping up)...

I guess I'm just optimistic.
I kinda wish they didn't let us know that it was just part of the source. That way I'd be expecting the game to come out late next year, and then when November/December/whenever rolls around Presto! It's at my local Wally world for fifty bones.
Oh well. I hope everything is nice and secure...
I think you have to know your way around a computer pretty good. Probably have to have mapping skills so you can communicate with them better.
I don't know how you would go about becoming one. I'd like to know as well.
I want something. Anything.
Tech Demo, Benchmark tool, New pics (without spoilers), New movies (again, without spoilers), a life, an announcement, a release date, a demo. Anything.
