Well I have finally managed to get myself a new system upgrading from a pentium 3 to a conroe system here are the specs 
Processor: e6400 2.13ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-S3
Ram: 2gb DDR667 (I have no idea on what the brand is)
hdd: 2x250gb seagate hdd's
gfx card: Powercolour x1950xtx (they ran out of x1900xt's and it was only a $180 upgrade)
Monitor: 19" chimei 938D 1440x900
Speakers: Creative 2500 2.1
All up cost my mum just over $2500 including shipping
The only problem is that I'm stuck on dialup and my ati control centre is in chinese or something so does anyone know how I can change the language or can offer an alternative?
