eVGA GeForce 8800GT Superclocked Edition

3Gigs of RAM (3x1GB)

Realtek HD Onboard Audio =[

22" Widescreen Monitor

Hm, been a long time.

P5N SLI
Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4Ghz
Nvidia Geforce 7900 GTX
2GB RAM
200GB HDD
Coolermaster Centurion case

I consider upgrading to Vista and two 8800 GTS cards, but I don't know if SLI is worth it.

If you plan to upgrade, I would consider one or two of this (SLI could be a good choice, but it is very expensive, so I would pass).

If you plan to upgrade to Vista, go with Vista Home Premium 32bit. It's much less expensive than Vista Ultimate, and you miss out on only about two or three real features.

Hm, been a long time.

problem with any 32 bit OS is that you can have 3.2Gigs of RAM max, thus limiting further upgrade possibilities in the future. Seeing as I'm European and don't have a CC Newegg is out too, thanks for the hint though!

Windows XP and Vista 32-bit version can support 4GB RAM, the 64-bit version can support like 128GB (or something insanely high). Granted the difference between 3.2GB and 4GB isn't all that great. Despite claims that 64-bit OS's can run any 32-bit applications I have seen issues several times (anti-virus software being the most common).

He's right. Normally, if you were asking about something like XP, I would suggest a 64bit OS. But the 64bit version of vista isn't all that great, there are fewer properly coded drivers, and they can be very buggy. don't get me wrong though, despite what you here, Vista Home Premium/Ultimate 32bit is a great OS.

New mouse and mouse pad:

Also got some other new things, like a 3rd Space FPS vest and a racing wheel.

Immeasurable.

Haha. I'm rocking a Logitech MX510 on a $15 purple mousepad that I had to draw on with Sharpie to get enough contrast. It's actually morphed into a really freaky pattern that looks like some kind of spore-fungus.

Double posting rocks.
