This is just a 'mini' picture of my desktop. As you can see I keep it very clean, and you can also see that I am running windows 98, which sucks. Im currently running 1048x728 or whatever.
My current computer speed is 667mhz, 64mb SDRAM, 14.9 viewable screen, and some other SHIT.
Im getting a new one (as all you know) and its going to own this one.

DDR ram is like really good SDram. Thus, the full name of ddr is DDR-SDRAM.

By 2.2ghz, do you mean Athlon XP 2200? Because it only runs at oh.. 1.8ghz? Or do you mean the Athlon XP 2800+ which runs at approx 2.2ghz? Which came out 9/16 :)
And man!! You should have waited to get the Radeon.
Quote from PCGamer Mag: "Radeon 9700 Pro/Our guess is that "Pro" stands for performance runeth over."
The benchmarks show 100% increase over Geforce4 ti 4600 in FPS for Quake III and 20-120% ranged increase (with varying resolutions).
*Whew* Anyway.... ya. Post a picture of your computer. Not your desktop... your computer. =P I'm still running my AMD 1.3Ghz Tbird with suxxin old Geforce2mx 64mb.
