Get a 6800GT vid card.
Then sell the 9800p and get a nice 19' or 21' monitor since you're a gamer. (thats if a 6800GT is less than your budget, don't know the x-rate ATM)



Mobile XP 2600+ (11X200)
Abit NF7-S v 2.0
Maxtor 60GB ATA 133 7200RPM
512MB Corsair Twinx 3200LL
BBA 9800 Pro
Enermax Noisetaker 420 watts
Win2K sp4<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Coyote on 11/02/04 03:11 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

Upgrade your monitor. Plus vid card. The rest looks good.

Get an X800PE, that way you dont have to reload XP.
