I currently have the following system specs that I built a few months ago:

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Nforce3 mb socket 939
Athlon 64 bit 3500+
1 gb pc3200 Corsair LL ddr ram running in dual channel
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb agp video card
Creative Audigy2 ZS soundcard

I have the system overclocked, running at 2.55 ghz
I have the Radeon overclocked in 3d, running at 410/372

The system is very stable, and runs fine. However, i feel the Radeon 9800
Pro is holding me back somewhat, and am strongly considering adding
something like the X800XL.

It may be holding you back in the benchmark game, but the 9800 Pro will only
hold you back if you're gaming in newer 3D DX9 titles at resolutions over
1024x768. As for Longhorn, for it'll probably need 2gig of RAM, an FX57, and
an X850XT PE for it to run at the same speed as XP Pro on a Barton 3200 with
1gig RAM and a 9800 Pro.
