Well finally after 2-3 years or so with my current system its time for a total overhaul. I'm looking to build a completly new system.
I have a few options though.
Current System is
AMD Athlon XP 1.4ghz @2.1
768mb PC2700 DDR
80GB wd HD
SB Live
Leadtek TV tuner
Radeon 8500 64MB
Mbo: Abit KX7 333
All sitting in a full tower (modded inwin q500)
Now the options for upgradig i have are as follows either get a laptop or build another desktop. I was looking the laptop route just so i would have a portable platform to work on, and something about using the internet without wires makes me feel all warm  (i have wirelss g netwrok setup)
Laptop range is a max of 2300 canadian without tax
Then on the other hand i tried to price out a Desktop
Here is the list of parts i was lookining into
Mobo: Abit IC7 MAX3
CPU: Intel P4 2.8E prescott 1mb cache
Ram: ???
Video Card Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb
Sound: Built in
Niic: Built In
HD: WD SATA 7200rpm 120gb hd
DVDRW
kybd/mouse logitech elite wireless duo
All put together in a clear acrylic case with a 480watt thermaltake butterfly psu
The total for the above mentioned parts come up to around 1434
THIS PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE MEMORY (still deciding on brand and amount) NOR DOES IT INCLUDE A MONITOR
What do you guys suggest?
And what the deal with PCI Express i hear summer but then again DDR took a while to get here...
