i built a custom system 2 years ago and wondering what bottlenecks i have. i know i don't have dual channel because my shuttle xpc doesn't support it. but other than that, should i buy a new system? or wait for conroe? i play half life 2, star wars empire at war, f.e.a.r., and call of duty 2.
shuttle xpc limited edition SS56L
intel pentium 4 2.8GHz northwood core 800FSB HT
2x512MB mushkin DDR400 (single channel)
200GB maxtor ATA133
8x emprex DVD+-R
sapphire radeon x700 128MB 8x AGP
one other thing. my dvd burner can't burn at 8x. i get toasters. i'm maxed out at 6x. is this a dvd+r problem? or bottleneck in my system?
