Well some info for ya all.
I am running a locked Athlon XP 2800 with 768mb of ddr 3200 333mhz ram, on a ATI Radeon 9200SE, and 80gb 7200rpm Maxtor drive.
After some tuning with better cfm more noise fans and no overclocking I am now able to run doom3 1024 by 768 with a few toys in graphics on at about 35fps I see.
Most impressed and am planning on building a more dedicated system for a budget soon, may house the replacement 90mn core but to be honest a Socket A 3200 would sound a nice option to me. Luckily me knows a shop where I just walk in buy and walk out.
Will get his permission and the Admins to post his website banner here.
Edit: just spotted last post with the linky. Nice buy at only 70quid
