Do you have any Stuttering or hiccups problems in games with your current setup? that gigabyte mobo + A64 3500 was my first choice but after reading many forums, I saw most of people somehow have problem with GeForce 6800 series and nForce3 based mobos and some of them have to disable fastwrite in bios to make it smooth and stable.
what brand of ram did you get for your setup ?

I don't have any problems in the game. It runs fast, stable and smooth.
I don't know what brand of RAM i bought, but it is a "special" DualChannel Pack with two "one on the other co-ordinated" 512 MB modules.
(I also updated the mainboard bios from F1 to F4 !!!)

Great! it's nice to see that finally someone has zero problem with his A64 based system (no Stuttering, no blue screen, no random crashes,.....), enjoy your new gaming setup man!
BTW if you have CPU-Z, run it and go to SPD tab, you'll see the manufacturer of your ram there.

@Grumpy:

If you want to know it:

3DMark05: 2.425 / AquaMark3: 43.946
Before using Rivatuner

3DMark05: 2.613 (+188) / AquaMark3: 45.296 (+1350)
After using Rivatuner to enable two VertexUnits that was disabled.
There are also two PixelUnits that are disabled, but when i enable
them i get some graphic errors.

By the way... IT'S FAST ENOUGH !!!

Good to hear, it should be fast too.
I am currently running a P4 3.2Mhz HT Cpu, 1gig Dual Channel Ram (soon to be 2gig) ati Radeon 9700 Pro but its only a 128mg card, (currently trying to track down the Radeon X800XT PE, its proving hard to find in South Australia). At the moment games run excellent but most only at 1024x768 and I want to be able to run them at 1600x1200. Using a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP Motherboard. Ive had it just over 12 months now and feel I am due for an upgrade on the ram and graphics card.
How are you finding the Nvidia card compared to the Ati cards you used to always use? Which ati card did you last have?
My old computer parts get handed down to my 2 boys, they are running the Gigabyte GA-8INXP, 1Gig Dual Channel Ram, 2.8Mhz HT Cpu, but they currently only have a Nvidia Ti 4200 graphics card. They will score my Radeon card once I update which will probably be late next week sometime.
The kids do quite well from my upgrades after all they have good system for a 10 and 7 year old.
