CPU: Intel Core Duo 6400, 2.16GHz, 2MB cache, 1066FBS
Motherboard: Asus P5B
RAM: 2GB of dual channel RAM (two gig sticks), running at 667MHz
Video Card(bit ashamed of this one): XFX GeForce 7100GS. 256MB memory, PCI-E slot (i am upgradeding hopefully to an 8800 in the summer)

Hard Drives: one 250GB 7200RPM (with a SATA connector), another 160GB, older one still on an IDE controller.

Pretty happy with it so far.

Very nice. It's is similar to mine that I just built. I also went with the e6400 and so far it seems like the best bang for your buck. Make sure you don't heat yourself when you upgrade your graphics card. Whatever you do, DO NOT get the 8600 series of cards. Stick wth the 8800s. Calling the 8600 a stripped down version of the 8800 is inaccurate... A 7750 can outperform the 8600, except when it comes to DirectX 10 stuff. The 8600 supports it and the 7750 doesn't. So, do yourself a favor and shell out a little extra cash for at least the 8800GTS 320MB card. I highly recommend the 8800GTS 640MB card instead. The lack of memory in the 320MB card will hurt you in games that are texture heavy. Of course, if you have a shitload of cash to blow, by all means, get the 8800GTX card.

Before you make your card purchase, I suggest checking out some benchmarks for the 8800 series cards. The GTS 640MB card performs quite well compared to the GTX card, but the extras on the GTX definitely make it out perform everything else. Still, remember that you can SLI all of these, so two GTS 640MB cards should give you a nice performance boost in the long run (and subsequently cheaper than trying to SLI two GTX cards).

I am taking summer classes so that I can graduate by December. My girlfriend is moving down here in August and I plan on proposing to her sometime around our 1 year anniversary on September 1. It will be a busy summer for me too.

Usually weeknights after 6PM or so. Weekends are usually a no-go for me as that is the only time I get to see my gf, so I gotta set priorities.

By the way, I'm on Brandywine and my character's name is Aumway.
