Tweaking up the Computar
Hey... here are my specs:
AMD XP 1800+ (good temps ~38c idle - 47c full)
Epox 8KHA+ mobo
512 MB DDR 2100 RAM
Geforce3 ti200 (64mb)
40 gb hd ata100

I was wondering what I should do to help get the most out of my computer... currently running my gf3 at ti500 settings, and I have been wondering if i should mess around with my fsb and other o/c things. Also, wondering if there were some other software or tools i can dl to help boost performance. I plan on buying a GeForce FX when they come out... haven't decided... but other than that don't want to spend TOO much money... but any help would be appriciated

I've got a similar setup and am currently running FSB @ 145 to make my XP1600 run as a 1800. also faster mem performance from the FSB boost, vid performance up as well. you may have to increase the voltage on the chip and mem, if you have good name mem it shouldn't be a problem.
