Once the Christmas debts are all paid off, I'm either going to buy a G5 (depending on what Steve Jobs says at MacWorld SF tomorrow) or a CPU upgrade and a couple of new video cards. Or maybe one of the rumoured mini-iPods.

Well, here is *my* system:
  1. Antec SX1035B case
  2. Antec TruControl 550W power supply
  3. AMD Athlon XP 2000+ CPU @ stock speed (1.67 GHz)
  4. Asus A7V333 motherboard
  5. 512MB PC2100 (DDR266) DDR RAM
  6. GeForce4 Ti4400 graphics card w/ 128MB DDR RAM
  7. 120GB WD1200JB hard drive (8MB cache)
  8. 8X DVD-ROM (40X CD-ROM) drive
  9. 52x24x52X CD-RW drive
  10. M-Audio Revolution sound card
  11. ACS-48 2.1 speaker set
  12. 10/100 NIC card
  13. 56K (v.90) modem (duh)
  14. DSL (faster than dial-up)
  15. Floppy (duh)
  16. Microsoft Internet Keyboard
  17. Logitech MX500 mouse
  18. Epson printer

I had originally planned to switch from AMD to Intel. But when I found that I would have gotten a more up-to-date AMD-based setup consisting of a Athlon XP 2600+ (Barton) CPU with 512K L2 cache, an Abit NF7-S V2.0 nForce2-based motherboard with SATA and FireWire interfaces and 1GB (two 512MB sticks) of PC3200 Corsair XMS low-latency DDR memory for less $$$ than I would have paid for an Intel-based setup consisting of a 2.6c GHz Pentium 4 CPU with an effective 800MHz FSB, an Intel-made i875P chipset-based motherboard and only 512MB (two 256MB sticks) of the same Corsair XMS PC3200 CL2 DDR memory. So I stuck with an updated AMD setup in the end (but I haven't installed the new components in yet). Furthermore, my current motherboard doesn't support any of the newer 333MHz FSB or 400MHz FSB Athlon XP processors - at least not the particular board revision of the Asus A7V333 that I have (I have V1.02 [which is NOT AMD-recommended for anything above a 2200+, but V1.04 is AMD-recommended for up to a 2600+/266 CPU] - but I needed V2.0 or higher just to support the new 333MHz FSB CPUs).

Oh, by the way, since I have already purchased the new parts, do I need a better video card than my current GF4 Ti4400? The R9600XT and the GFFX 5700U looks attractive in my price range, since they claim full hardware DX9 support (the GF4 Ti4400 is only a DX8-generation part) - but I am willing to go all the way to an R9800 Pro if the price is right (the R9800XT is still waaaay too expensive for my budget right now).
