Nvidia Quadro fx 3500
AMD Athlon X2 3800+ (OC'd to 2.3ghz)

LOL

Just a few days ago I decided to upgrade my main machine.
I am now moving up to an X2 3800 +

I built an X2 3800+ machine for my GF close to two years ago and it was
quite
expensive. By the time I got done building the machine it was close to $1000
(USD)

Today, using surplus parts, it will cost me about $50

The only thing I could suggest to you
is to use NewEgg rather than Tiger Direct

Why ask here? This is purely your own personal preference and is not
related to the OS.

Ask elsewhere

1. Becasue the question has nothing to do with XP.

2. I never went anywhere, top poster.

Or ask in a hardware newsgroup. Oh, this *is* a hardware newsgroup.
