Wow! Very nice :)
 


Here's my rig:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G (rev 2.1)
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 5600+ 2.9Ghz (Brisbane)
RAM: 4GB Kingston DDR2 800 (running in 2x-channel. Also, twice the capacity with half the height.)
Video: 512 MB ATI Radeon X1650 Pro PCI-E
Monitor: 19" Viewsonic VX1935wm (Max res = 1440x900)
Sound: Diamond Xtreme Sound 7.1
Storage: 320GB Western Digital SATA drive
Disc: Pioneer CD/DVD R+RW (I think the speeds are 52x24x52)
Keyboard: Logitech Wave
Mouse: Logitech optical mouse

It's not as crazy as some of the systems here but I'm pretty contempt with it. I would say the dual-core and 4 gigs of RAM were major upgrades (those replaced a single-core AMD Athlon 3800 and 2GB of PQI Turbo DDR2 800). The only upgrade I'm in need right now is to get an ATI Radeon HD card (either my brother's 3650 or something in the 4000 range). Once I get that taken care of, I'll be set for a few years of good gaming.

Sweet! pretty much everybody here has an AMD! :D

AMD is the way to go my friend... ;) I was worried there for a bit, Intel was really sticking it to them but they are starting to bounce back now.. I'm VERY impressed with the new Phenom II cpu's.. A HUGE improvement over the X2 line and Phenom I line.. :) I haven't overclocked my new cpu yet but a friend of mine has the same cpu I do (See system specs) and he's got his overclocked to 4.2GHZ on air alone and everything is stable as hell (he does have an aftermarket cpu cooler) so I'm looking forward to overclocking mine.. :)
 


yes! AMD is GREAT and AFFORDABLE.. unlike coughcoughIntelcoughcough.... yeah I have the Phenom (I just bought it in december) but now I want the phenom II! I have NEVER encountered a slow moment due to my processor. And with the Windows 7 hardware rating on here, my CPU scored a 7.0 out of 7.0... :) My CPU temp averages around 40C. And that's with the stock heatsink... pretty good eh?
 


When the Phenom I processors came out, I planned on trying to upgrade to that. But I eventually decided to go the cheaper route and just get a new CPU for my board (AMD Athlon 3800 to an AMD Athlon X2 5600). The dual-core will keep me happy for a while (maybe even past the Phenom line should AMD make an i7 competitor). Now all I need is an HD card and I'll be set. I miss my Radeon X1650 Pro since now I'm stuck with a card that's noiser than my dad's old case fan and has half the performance. I probably would've been better off trying to swap monitors with my dad but I couldn't let go of my nice 16:10.

Oh yeah, I don't know how some of the people are running 45-50C with the stock HSF (w/o OC) on some of these dual-core Athlons. My CPU runs just as cool as my older CPU.

That IS very good my friend.. :) If you were to invest in a Phenom II, I can assure you that you WON'T be disappointed.. ;) It's the best $300 I ever spent.. And as I said I haven't even touched the overclocking yet (only due to lack of time) and it's rediculiously fast at stock speeds (3.2GHZ)... :) Mine runs between 37C - 40C depending on the load of course.. (That's on stock cooling as well, my aftermarket cooler is in the mail..)

Phenom II is pretty nice. I just built my dad a HTPC with a Phenom II X3 and it's pretty quick. It's at least as fast as my C2D E6600 (which is overclocked to 3.4Ghz) which is pretty nice. They definitely have a corner on the affordable market.

I will be going with a Ci7 though. I need as much power as I can get, and my soon to be Ci7 920/12GB RAM will make a nice combo.
