I have that setup, but with an x850XT [pcix] 256mb and I can run all max settings beautifully, so at medium settings you should be fine ^^
Old Dood
In todays games medium settings are pretty decent. Yes having the highest ones is sweet...but really it is just finer detail....medium settings still show awesome graphics...better then high end just a few years ago...
Take that from a Dood that had to deal with simple sprite graphics for years...dreaming of rigs like today....

I just finished my rig.
Chaintech 9CJS Mobo with 7.1 channel integrated sound
Pentium 2.4MHz with 800MHz FSB
2 sticks of 256mb OCZ
2 sticks of 512mb OCZ
40Gb Seagate 7200 rpm IDE
160Gb Seagate 7200 rpm IDE
XFX 6800 Vanilla with the pipes and shader unlocked
Ultra 500W PSU with the Modular Connect stuff
NEC 21" CRT/ Gateway 17" CRT
Logitech USB Optical
Dell Standard Keyboard
This machine is far from top notch, but considering it has been running over two years, it is pretty much overkill.
My next rig will be one of these PCI-E Dual Vieocard Dual Processor monsters.

Wow, you guys have some crazy machines. It makes me jealous.
I play GW on a stock Dell XP400....just an all-purpose workhorse computer:
Intel Pentium D 830
2GB dual channel DDR2 SDRAM
256MB PCI Expressx16 nVidia 6800
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
16xDVD-ROM Drive + 16xDVD+/-
Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic
ATI TV Wonder Elite
300GB Maxtor External HD (USB)
19" Dell Utra Sharp
Windows XP 2005 MCE
I am buying parts for a dedicated gaming machine (prices in quotes are Newegg as of 12/30/05):
ASUS Vento 3600 ATX Mid Tower - Green ($139.00)
ASUS A8N32 - SLI Deluxe ($245)
eVGA 256-P2-N518 Geforce 7800GT (just one card for now - $379)
PC Power & Cooling SLI-PFC ATX 12V 510W ($219)
Athlon 64 x2 4400 Toledo ($497)
Corsair XMS-3500LL Pro (2 x 1GB modules) ($296)
2xWestern Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 7200RPM SATA ($155.50)
ASUS IDE DRW Combo Drive ($48.99)
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum ($202)
Actually, I could really use advise, particularly regarding cooling and optical devices. Also, I'm wondering if I should go with a RAID_0 set up.
So far I've only paid for the CPU and the memory (MoBo is out of stock at Newegg). So everything else is negotiable. I've got about $3000 to spend.

first off, Crossfire doesnt need 2 identical cards true, but if you bought 2 Crossfire compatible cards you'll get jack. Crossfire encourages slavery, as there are special 'Master Cards' that corespond with your standard 'Slave Card'. (eg one standard x1800XT + x1800XT Master Card = CROSSFIRE)

It did cost a pretty penny 6months ago that Asus An8, and 4800+ were ithink going for like $1050.00, total if i remeber correctly was about $7000.00 but that becuase i bought 2 23" lcds oh and those dam deskstar at the time were $399 a piece, plus $599.00 for 7800gtx each!!
In comparison i was having Aleinware build a very Similar rig to this one With no monitors and a Alienware ALX cooling system they wanted $7800.00< go figure THe NAME!!!

Since 3DMark is single-threaded, the X2 isn't going to make any difference. You're basically just comparing clockspeeds (as long as the L2 is the same size, which won't make THAT much of a difference either...most games just don't utilize big caches), which you can get pretty high with the right CPU core stepping/family, decent memory, and the right motherboard.
I played with overclocking for many years. Eventually, if you're like me, you get busy with other things in your life and you just don't have time for it anymore. I guess it's nice to get 'something for nothing', but now my time is more precious than my money, and I'd prefer to build a nice stable stock system that's never down and runs nice and cool. Although, I'm certainly not paying 6-10x as much.
@4runner: I sometimes play GW with a few gamers I know in their 60's as well. I know what you mean, though. I'm only 30 and I'm already older than 90% of the people I meet in-game.

Never overclock a machine that you depend on for daily usage, or one that you need working to stay sane. 
Here's my box. Built it last year, no overclocking. I plan to upgrade in the coming summer or so:
Sc-940 isn't obsolete, Opterons still use it.

You guys know AlienWare is a rip off right?
you spend most of your money just for them to put it together.
Only cool thing about alienware is their Chasseys
Other than that the thing is a total rip

lets see...i was kind of lazy to buy a seperate case and mobo and then go through the trouble of the putting all the wires to the right slot and etc so i just got a barebones
my "build"
xpc barebones
P4 w/ HT 3.0ghz OC to 3.6 (xpc ICE cooling technology is so awesome )
1gb kingston
apollo 6800 (unlocked 18 pipelines)
SATA 80gb HD
XP pro
Lite on CD burner
this was my first DYI computer. takes about an hour to set up and only about $500-700.
i encourage everyone to build their own computer. its seriously not that hard and save money.
its funny cause my friends want me to build thier computers now

I wonder about the 20mm fans (do you mean 120mm? The Wave Master case uses 80mm fans only...I have one). 20mm fans would be really really tiny!
The 3GB RAM is keeping it from running dual-channel, though. You should go down to 2GB or up to 4GB (assuming you are using 1GB sticks). If you go up to 4GB make sure your mobo will do dual-channel with 4 sticks...some will only do dual channel with 2 sticks.

Also some motherboards, and some processors don't support Dual Channel, AMD64 Clawhammer (s754)-series comes to mind.
Currently, and for near future gaming on this rig:
AMD64 3200+ [Clawhammer s754]
1GB A-Data ram [Should be 1.5GB, got the 3rd 512mb module, but Clawhammer memorycontroller = suck]
MSI Neo2 Platinum [Had Gigabyte K8NNXP, but it's powersupply failed, random crashes]
GeForce 6800GT 256MB [Had Radeon 9800Pro, but it died out of the blue]
Hitachi 250GB drives x2 [in RAID 0]
Hitachi 160GB drives x2 [both standalone]
Plextor PX708A DVD multiformat burner [Been to warranty 3 times and counting
]Creative Live! for sound
All stuffed into Antec Sonata Piano Black case, with two 120mm fans. 480W Enermax PSU [had Fortron supersilent-thingy, but it didn't supply enough power. Running on my supersilent linux server now :P]

Other than that, the memory conroller just has to support dual-channel. In the case of Athlon64 the memory controller is on the CPU, so you're looking at only socket 939 and above supporting dual-channel. Socket 754 Athlon64s don't support it. For everything but Athlon64 the memory controller is in the north bridge, making it chipset-dependent. Most new chipsets support dual-channel memory configurations, and there are even some new chipsets for older platforms (like Socket A) that support dual-channel, although I'm yet to see any test results showing that dual-channel is a benefit to Socket A. It may or may not be.
To answer your question, I'm not sure. It seems like different boards show different results with mixing module sizes and types. One of the two Athlon64 boards that I own doesn't like it at all when all installed modules aren't identical. In fact it won't even POST if any modules are too far off from the others. I haven't played around with mixing modules with my other board, so I can't tell you for sure.

Dex,
Ok..thanks. I have Intel chipsets (Dell) and my 2nd computer a Dim 4600 2.8Ghz 800FSB has 2x512Mb (1&3 slots) and 2x256Mb (2&4 slots) I am sure it is running dual channel with them in those slots. My 1st computer Dim 5100 3.4Ghz 800FSB has 4x1Gb and I am pretty darn sure THAT is a dual channel. My 2nd computer has Dell brand ram and my 1st computer has Crucial brand ram. I am pretty sure Crucial and Dell are the same brands(Samsung or micron)....just that Crucial is cheaper in cost then Dell.
I know next to notheing about AMD anymore. They have change allot since I owned a K6 AMD chipset.

My 2nd computer has Dell brand ram and my 1st computer has Crucial brand ram. I am pretty sure Crucial and Dell are the same brands(Samsung or micron)....just that Crucial is cheaper in cost then Dell. I know next to notheing about AMD anymore. They have change allot since I owned a K6 AMD chipset.

Nothing wrong with your system LouAl. Better then allot of them out there. You can get a decent video card for a few dollars...that and another Gig of ram and you are set for a good while to come.

By the way, Old Dood, there's an application you can download for free called CPU-Z that will tell you for sure if you're memory is running dual-channel. Just google "CPU-Z download" and you'll find several sources.
