Hey guys... thanks for all your past help in helping me narrow my selections down... although i still have a bit more questions... so here it goes...
What i'm planning on buying:
CPU: Pentium 3.2E socket 478
PSU: Antec NeoPower 480
Memory: Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series 1GB(512x2) PC3200
Mobo: ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
People keep telling me to get the LGA 775... so with that config...
CPU: Pentium 3.0 LGA775
PSU: Antec NeoPower 480
Memory: Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series 1GB(512x2) PC3200
Mobo: ??? need recommendations
I also need recommendations for a heatsink/fan... I don't want to run with stock fan.... I want to make sure my CPU runs cool....
Another problem that i'm facing... although i'm not 100% sure i'll be doing this... but this is what i want to do... I want to setup 2 SATA hdd on raid from mobo... and i also i have a PCI raid controller, and setup 4 hdd's on a raid.. plus one additional single drive... so... i'm planning on running 7 hard drives... would my power supply be enough?
I currently have a radeon 9800 pro... so i see no reason for replacing that.... and i have a dvd player... and a cdrw... so i don't plan on getting any additional drives....
Please review this for me and tell me what you guys think...
Oh, and on the side note... soooo many people recommended me getting AMD64... although i am very tempted... i feel that it'll be best for me to get an intel just so that i feel a bit more secure on my part Anyways... I would love as much input as possible since i'm planning on buying all the parts tonight... Thanks guys!
