It's been too long

Post your specs, anything really, model numbers, speeds, accessories, etc.

AMD Athlon 2400+ XP Thoroughbred at 14x166MHz (2324MHz, 117%)
ASUS A7V600-X (VIA KT600)

512MB Generic DDR2700 (@333MHz)
512MB Hyundai DDR3200 (@333MHz)
Both at 2.5-3-3-7

Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB (factory speeds at present, going to XT speeds after this databasing)

Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS

209GiB of PATA Maxtor storage, two 7200rpms.

LG DVD+/-RW/RAM
Cyberdrive CD-RW 52/24/52

Your turn.

Miscellaneous hardware advice/comments welcome but no excessive showing-off or makin' fun of people on PIIs. It's just out of interest.

I have 2 desktops, heres a tip satchmo;

You want to have 2 different desktops on your 2 different monitors? Simply find the pic that you want to use on your second monitor, save it, then right-click on your desktop, >properties>desktop>customize desktop>web, then select new, than click browse, find your picture and select it, click apply, and the picture should show up on your desktop. after that, you can move the picture over to your second monitor, adjust it until its just right, and the right click again, arrange icons>lock web items on desktop. Now you have 2 different desktops.

That's a rather inefficent way of doing it. Can't you just have a background image the same size as their combined resolutions, and put two images together, divided in the middle?

NO idea what you're talking about.

For curiosity purposes, here's my (crappy) 3DMark2001 benchmark results (note: all "games" run on low quality):

Car Chase: 11.6 fps
Dragothic: 18.6 fps
Lobby: 33.3 fps
Nature was unable to run...
Most other feature tests (like DOT3 bump-mapping) were unable to run...

It still runs HL/CS at great for mid-poly/decent for high-poly though, so I'm happy.
