Ok, my friend wants me to built him a kick arse computer and so far the components I came up with go like this;
1) CPU Intel QX6850
2) MoBo ASUS P5K3 - Deluxe
3) RAM Team Xtreem DDR3 PC3 10600 (if I can find it, so variable) (2x1GB or 4x1GB)
4) PSU OCZ GameXtream 700W
5) evga 8600GT 512MB (Solo)
6) MS WINXP HE w/ SP2
7) Monitor ??
8) DVD burner Samsung 203B
Plus the other parts that are not as significant.
Most stuff with be bought from newegg. Computer will not be overclock and will use stock HSF.
A couple questions/concerns . . .
He wants to run 4GBs of RAM, I believe due to XP's PAE mode that is not going to happen w/ 32-bit windows, is that correct? Any work arounds?
Is that the best comb for items 1 to 4? Suggestions welcomed.
Thanks.
