Lol what do you mean ghost.. you're never a ghost! It's always us watching you and your haX!
As for PC specs.. thanks for that.. i've done a fair bit of research, that Pentium D 805 2.66GHz overclocks to 3.6 on air (just need a better cpu cooling fan), so Im going to be getting that, a SLI motherboard (slaide style you say), and a 7600GS card. (and I'll slot a second one in, in a year, hehe).
Basically going for excellent value for performance. I expect it will more than be capable of CS:S, but Im aiming to have it be useful for a few years, as usual. Step 2 will also be more ram and a SATA II HDD, as mentioned by Hero.
As for not beating the XP 2000+ - that's exactly what I have (1.7GHz, so slow), and it's just not enough. Shame that my Radeon 9600XT is probably too good for the CPU, but it's time for an all-round upgrade, into PCI Express.
