  Nice rig. A Radeon 9800 would have been better tho.

  GeForce 4 ti 4600 /w 128

  Geforce4mx
  200gb ide drive
  sb audigy
  pci nic
  
  
  before you flame me please know that i saved 300 dollars simply because i bought this pc from our sister company :P and our sister company only does Intel.

  Did you grab the Intel i875P (no OC options) motherboard or the Abit IC7-G i875P mobo?

  Meh, the Abit (IC7 MAX2) I have at home has some issues. The board has memory timing issues, it locks up while installing windows at default speeds half of the time.

  Did you try it with either relaxed timings or with one stick of memory?

  Nice rig! I don't think much of anything will chug on that machine either. My one suggestion only since you mentioned 3D 2003 scores would be to sell the 4600 and get a DX9 vid card. Other than that, full speed ahead!!!
