Ahhh!

BTW.
Does it matter wether a HDD or any other drive is OEM? Is it bad for a a product to be OEM?

I'm going to be Using Serial ATA drives and the only ones they have at NewEgg are OEM.

The power supply and video card you chose both suck balls.

LOL

-very true though.  Never skimp on the power supply, especially when it comes to modern systems.

my 480W pSU is struggling on an athon XP


IMO BACK AWAY FROm THE ATLON 754!!!

this product will very soon be discontinued and replaced with a 939pin version that still does not need registered RAM but is much higher performance for same price

only downside? locked multiplier, sum conductive tape will fix that though

jm_007, sounds like he's somewhat on a budget. If I knew he had a bagillion dollars, i'd tell him the same thing. However, it seems he's fully aware of what he is missing out on by getting a GeForce4 5200 or the $25 power supply and not waiting for the latest and greatest.

pc2700 isnt garunteed to do 200mhz (pc3200 speeds).

I'm sure you mean 400Mhz and of course it's not guaranteed to work at those speeds. PC2700 is meant for 333Mhz. And the compatibility for RAM to work at 400Mhz is very low even for brands such as Kingston and Crucial. You'd end up paying more to find compatible RAM. So, going for the cheaper route, and higher compatibility, he went PC2700.

I don't really know what muck is, so it must not be that common (probably as common as the phrase "double pumped"!!). And he wouldn't have to overclock anything if there was a CPU:DRAM ratio setting in the BIOS then he could set to 4:3 although with an obvious performance hit or the A64 would run at 333Mhz just like his RAM.

And I do know a little about RAM. It's harder for lesser known name brand sticks to maintain the higher speeds, much less if it's not even registered.

anyway, being a member of more than a few large overclocking communities, and having seen people buy all sorts of ram rated at different speeds, i can confidently say you are completely wrong, and wether it's regestered or not makes no difference.

Even the cheapest pc3200 will do 400mhz. Ram such as twinmos pc3200, which just happens to be what i am using and running at @225mhz. hell, it will even do 235mhz all day long. only my motherboard is hiolding this ram back.

Have you seen his motherboard manual? does it have a divider? don't you think you and he should know that before suggesting pc2700 would be fine? might be a good idea......

you say you know about ram, when in the same post you as-good-as admit you dont know what double-pumped means? if nothing else, you do make me laugh:)

Yes, becuse ou spend all that money on a pc only to then underclock it rolleyes.gif

I'm sorry to have offended your overclocking "communities". I wouldn't want to get thier blood double-pumping as I have yours. And don't you think you should know if he has the money before telling him to spend hundreds of dollars on components? Might be a good idea...



oh yeah....

Wow I did not see this thread becoming a debate. LOL.

I am trying to get the cheapest prices I can, but without skimping, if there is such a thing. I also want to make sure that all the components are compatible. As to the Power Supply I want to get a good one but $50 is a bit too much for me.

I don't play on my PC as much as I do on my Xbox, actually I don't remember the last time I played on my PC, I just think it's a hassle.

Anyways This is What I'm getting from New Egg, and I believe all components are compatible. Let me know what you guys think of this.
