MB and CPU recommendations for PC-4200 RAM

So I was just gifted 2 gigs of Kingston DDR2-533 memory. Problem is, I've been building AMD systems based on DDR1 tech for a while and have lost track of where DDR2-533 fits in to Intel systems. Can anyone offer some recommendations on the best matched chipset and Intel processor for this RAM...

The $15,000 home theater

I have to agree with others that two years is a long time to wait while prices and new products fluctuate. But if you are waiting for prices to drop on some of the equipment you should just drop the ball on the SVS now. Take it from a current SVS owner, you want that sub. SVS doesn't do sales...

EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

Hey All, I just ordered this motherboard and I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff. I have two questions that I was hoping to get some feedback on. 1. If I am using a Windows XP Pro CD that includes SP2, do I still need the "F6" SATA driver to install Windows XP to a single SATA...

How to tell if your CPU is cracked?

The memory?! Really? I've assembled computers for friends of mine in the past using HyperX and never had so much as a hiccup. Granted those were Intel boards, but I liked the HyperX's price/performance ratio so much I decided to purchase it for my own computer instead of Corsair XMS sticks. I...
