Mid Range Gamer..

New System..

I'm building a new system this weekend. Upgrading a system based around a Athlon XP 1200 to a mid-range gamer. Unfortuanlly, it's not for me :( I haven't played with SATA or PCI-E, so I'll be curious of the results. In preparation, I'll be slipstreaming an XP CD, and using some sort of freeware to recover a missing XP serial key. Most of my time has been spent in these days has been spent in Linux, working on my mythbox, so it'll be a little of an XP refresher. I've never bothered to learn create how to create a slipstreamed version of XP. It will also give me a chance to try some of the newer games available.
