Well here's mine -

GFX Card : Leadtek Geforce 7800GTX
RAM : 2GB Corsair TwinXPro DDR400

Wheel : Logitech Driving Force Pro
Mouse : Razer Copperhead

All put together by Wired2fire.

When I originally got this rig everything ran pretty well. The only problems I had were on Battlefield2 where a degree of lag was evident. To solve this I bought an extra 1GB of RAM. Problem solved. Now I can run any game with everything turned to maximum. Next I'd like to buy a 19" TFT but until prices come down and native resolutions go up I'll be sticking with my Hansol. The image is pin-sharp at 1280x960@85Hz.

What socket is your motherboard? Before buying a 19 inch LCD (which is pretty cheap nowadayz) maybe you can go get a new processor. 3800 is a pretty outdates processor. You should try getting the new dual core processors or the FX-series.

Pentium 4 3.0GHz (Northwood)
MSI Neo2-P 865PE motherboard
2x 512MB GeIL memory
Albatron GeForceFX 5900XT 128MB graphics
Samsung 172x LCD monitor
Seagate 250GB 7200.8 SATA
Logitech Momo Racing (Black)
MS keyboard and mouse
Onboard audio + Creative 2500.2 speakers
Chenbro Gaming Bomb case + generic 350W PSU
NetGear DG834G wireless router connected via onboard network

pulls about 80fps hotlapping, drops to 15-25 if there are a lot of other drivers on the track.

Here is my old LFS rig!!!!

AMD 64 2800+
ASUS K8V board
Retail AMD cpu heatsink/fan
Leadtek GT6600 128mb
20 gigbytes Seagate hdd (C
80 gigbytes seagate hdd (D
512mb ram (2x256mb)
Poineer DVD-RW DVR-106D
1.44mb Floppydrive (for incase)
3 case fan changing light from purple to red to blue.
PSU 400watt i dunno the make.
all in Li lian alumium case.

2 year old Logitech wheel mouse
Black IBM keyboard that cost me £2 3 years ago.
Dell 17" montior (free) as my old 19" is broken

Yeah. And 19" LCDs are actually quite small. Better just get atleast a 23"...

But I don't particularly like cheap tft's. You don't get a lot for the money and space isn't really an issue for me. Getting a dead pixel would drive me nuts too. If anyone knows where to get a 21" or 22" Sony CRT for small money let me know.

And as for the processor, have you seen the prices of the latest ones? It is a 939 pin socket so I can always upgrade in a couple of years when it's really needed.

I'm currently seeing frame rates of 95 - 110 online with loads of cars. In Battlefield 2 I regularly see frame rates of 75 - 85 online with 63 others. All this with everything set to max on the 7800.

I think it's the RAM that helps.

I'm pretty happy with it.
