I did not go over kill on the cable management... I got the fx5200 today, but it was a dud. The seller gave me a full refund tho 😀 I bought an fx5600 ultra to use in its palace. I know it's over kill, but I'll do fine.

I have a few newer games I'd like to play on my dual P3 box, but they are going to be pushing the system unless they have SMP support. Empire at War will be the game that will push it to it max, both cpu, gpu and ram. Does anyone know if Empire at War has SMP support ?
