Well, the fact that my old comp died and that HL2 is supposed to hopefully come out sometime.I built myself a new machine...Here it is

Intel P4 3.0ghz 800FSB
ASUS p4p800 motherboard
Twin Corsair 512MB 3200LL 400
Soundblaster Audigy 2 Soundcard
ATI Radeon Pro 9800 128MB
Western Digital SATA 120Gig 7200RPM 8MB Caching HDD
450Watt Power Supply
Sony DRU510A DVD R/RW +/-

I have already benchmarked my video card with 3dmark 2001 SE and I got scores just a hair under 16000..The ATI 256 and Geforce 4 cards have only gotten scores around 17000 or 18000.
