Yep. It's a lot cheaper and you can pick exactly what you want and how you want it. Do you build your own PC's too?

My computer that I am using now is a Dell, I bought it before I knew how to build them. My next computer will def. be built by me though.

I run ligand-fit also. been runnin since last year. good to see people still have this.

I would have built my laptop, but it prolly woulda cost more than from dell in the end.

I did build my desktop and all of its like 10-15 predecessors from the past 8 years (since like 8th grade). In fact, I just upgraded my video card the other day (swapped some stuff with a friend) with a radeon 9600 pro. Way better than that geforce4 i was running. This one has some major balls to it.

Building your own stuff is the best way to go. Usually much cheaper for what you get too. Do me a favor, go to zdnet.com and download performance test 5.XX (do a search under downloads for performance test). When you run it, post the overall results (the final rating) here cause i wanna know how i rate against a 64. Those are bad to the bone.

Want #'s off of a 3400+ clawhammer core A64 system running RAID-0 and 1GB of PC3200 DDR RAM once I get it running (next week)?

This my friends, is why it's a must to clean the dust out of your case every few months.

How did you arrive to that conclusion?

It has plenty of overclocking features (xcept memory timing)

i have ligandfit also

In case anyone was waiting for the results of the test, just ran it 3 times and got the average score: 488.2 Keep in mind this is an unoptimized install with the latest drivers and WinXP SP2, no tweaks. It only gets better from here... ;)
