nVidia series 7 logoXFX 7800 GTX and AMD 64 3500+

My trusty AMD XP 3000+ has served me well since June 2003. Of course, time and evolution have made its replacement necessary. Therefor, over two years of primary service are now rewarded with a fitting place in Falmir's setup, while Sharok gets a brand new 64 3500 and a new mobo to boot with.

So, for the record, here's the setup info :
