However, when it IS optimized, you will be happy to have purchased that

9800XT and 1GB Corsair CL2 timing RAM... as more means overkill and
little in the way of extra BANG for the expensive hardware purchased. If
you have difficulty running HL2 and DOOM3 with an A64 3000+, 9800 Pro,
1GB Corsair and associated hardware, it's either your software configuration
or the programmers are retarded and did NOT optimize their code.

Ram timings don't made any difference on Athlon 64 processors?

Radeon x800 XT Platinum Edition
2 Gigs PC3200 RAM
Creative Sound Blaster® Audigy 2 ZS High Definition 7.1 Surround

Thats bout it...I am probably going to be gettin a system like that within a month...
Do you guys think all that will run HL2/Doom3/+all other modern games comin out soon?

WTF would you upgrade to? I feel dumber for reading this question.
