Nice setup, although I would only go with one gig of ram, and go with a Maxtor 10 instead of the seagate.

Nice setup! Just a little question though... Whats the good of two video cards?

 

[tuffdavi]

oh sorry type error and for the hard drive i looked at the maxtor models and thought about it then i just went back to the seagate and also do you think i should have any prob backing up games with that dvd drive and getting past the security(safedisk, safedisk2, etc.)

Built in network card will be fine, and the point of having to gfx cards is unknown to me. Ask prae, 4W4K3, or Cromewell, any of them (and others) will have a lot more info than I will.

2 cards in sli mode will help alot in games only if the game supports it, most dont but the new ones will, that along with the new 64bit games coming out will allow games to use extrodinary graphics

well dave, if thats ok with you, your computer looks very familiar to me except for 1 or 2 parts, but i think that its still an alrite setup

1. imo sympatico is retarded
2. the mobo has a nic built in

[potentially] more performance, more flexibility, etc (at more cost and power drain etc of course)
