Hehe it always happens. When I built this system (Thunderbird 850 OC to 980), it was the bees knees. Now it is old hat!
Same here. My 1.4GHz Thunderbird system with a 64MB GeForce2 GTS and 512 MB DDR memory was the bees' knees when I built it last year, and now it's barely mid-range - although only WindowsXP is causing me performance problems; Linux, BeOS, QNX and Amithlon all perform beatifully.
I'll probably be looking to build a new system around Christmas or the new year, when the new-gen graphics cards come out and the CPUs will probably get upgraded again too.
With any luck, the whole sorry Amithlon saga will have been sorted by then.
