I strongly recommed Asus and have since it was recomended to me five or so years ago. They don't break down easily and are hard to 'break" with clutsy hands like mine when installing either!

Zalman makes it big. the Zalman way. I do not have problems with it as other AMD fans in the past and it's smooth and doesn't grate when ith's chilly out side and the fan's old(mine's 3 years old).

the most important part of the computer is the CPU chip, this is the best AMD(or anyrthing) but it is expensive. If you want to invest, try the videocard first.

surprisingly, this bad boiy is still around. It is AGP compatible and the highest grade card for AGP. Get it now or loose out and upgrade the mobo, your choice!

this card is PCI-expres only! Do not attempt it on a AGP mainboard. You'll have to return it and be highly discouraged.

the recording studio of cards, like the X-Fatality FPS it has the extra RAM and a bit of fluff for audio nuits and radio-heads who have video cards. Geddy, Alex and Niel could not do better than this.

Mac's are getting more and more popular. I HOPE they get into games soon. If they do I'll go for one next! They don't have the cold and phlem-phlam snotty viruses like Microsick.

good deal for a side panel fan(or three) if you have a side vent(Dragon cases) your CPU will go down to 90% at moderate loads AMAZING! one for the CPU two for the VID card. I'm a fan freak..
