I am a distraught owner of a Compaq computer *sigh* yes, Compaq. I've wanted to build a computer on my own for quite some time, but wanna have some questions answered before i start buying things. I know you guys have probably answered questions to computer newbies, such as myself, but i havent been able to find too many answers.
First one: What do you think is the best AMDXP Mobo? I know ASUS has the reputation of being the best, but i have no proof to back this up.
Second: Is there really a big difference between DDR 2100 and DDR 2700 (3000, etc)? cause i want a good mobo, but dont know if its worth spending the extra bucks on higher end RAM.
Third: Is RAID worth it?
I want a great computer (not the best possible), but one i can depend on, as well as one i can be proud of. Suggestions about a mobo? Preferably under $150
