this setup isnt great so im thinking before hl2 release ill get another 256mb ram stick and a new graphics card. what sort of graphics card should i get to balance with the athlon 1700?

Everybody has been telling me to get a Radeon 9500 or a 9700, and I've got almost the exact same computer as you.

Posted in offtopic but ill slap in a little metion here too

I just got my third monitor and laptop hooked up and this is how it stands:

http://rsdesign.org.uk/dev/pics/desk.jpg

Main Rig:
AMD Athlon 2700XP+
512MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9500Pro
120GB HD

Laptop, which i just got off my dad because he got a new one:
Intel P3 800
256MB RAM
ATI Rage Mobility 128
10GB HD

Nothing major hardware wise but it looks friggen awsome eheh.

BTW, if you happen to get a setup like mine get Synergy ( http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ ) it lets you control 2 PC's over a network with just one keyboard and mouse, very handy for me obvisouly.

signature, rawr... pretty computer... no intel nor ati, i dun like either - har engrish
- im really waiting for nvidia to get there act together... so next generation video card line, is probably what ill get... -
- as far as ati is concerned to me, ive had many experiences with just plain driver annoyance... -

I've been saving up for a couple months (I'm only 17 so it takes me a while to get money) and I'm getting this in about one month:

Radeon 9900 Pro (256 or 128 haven't decided yet)

I'm waiting on the 9900 Pro to come out thats why I haven't bought my new comp yet.

It goes up to this temperature..i was just wondering whats your CPU temperature..

I know mine is high, and i know that 60 is the max but my processory never locks up

Well my 2000xp+ i have running at 2600+ on stock cooling (basic heatsink and fan) at 35-40 degrees C about 100degrees F roughly... which is pretty damn good for a 400mhz improvement... if thats 70degrees C you may want to check your fan... if your fan is goings fine... check your extractor fan on your case... to take out the hot air! and one on the front to pull in cool air! if case temp is low and your cpu temp is high. if you installed the heatsink and fan urself and put somehting like arctic silver on and didnt do it right that would cause a bad seal and poor cooling!
