My new Hardware

Lord_Behemoth · 07-08-2005, 04:16 PM

Okay guys, I'm finally getting rid of me old AthlonXP 2600+, 512mb PC2700 DDR-Ram, My crappy MSI mobo and me 9600PRO.

And about time it was!!

So today the Mailman came and brought me a box. And when I opened the box I came across a

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Core

and a

ASUS A8N-E Mobo

a

X740XL, wich has a little more power than the X700PRO,

1Gb of PC3200 DDR-Ram

and to power all this madness a

Sweex 650Watt PSU.

I'll be putting it all together on monday so I'll keep you updated.

nice nice

but isnt there better ram than that ?

Akherousin · 07-08-2005, 06:29 PM

Not on DDR1. DDR2 is "faster" as faster clockwise but the timings aren't as stiff as DDR ones.
So: no, there isn't really.

Silent Archer · 07-08-2005, 07:00 PM

thats a pretty nice set up

SprigganX · 07-09-2005, 05:37 PM

I would have just gone with a 450watt.

Akherousin · 07-10-2005, 12:39 PM

please stay on topic. next one who flames in here gets a flashy warning.

I was on topic bud, until Silent tried to start with me again...why the hell you delete my post about the PS?? wtf man.......whatever not like a give a norton anyway ;) you just delete valid posts too I guess

I know the 650Watt is way to much for this setup, but I got for a really sweet price (37 euro) and this way it means that the next time I'll be upgrading my pc I won't need to replace the PSU.

Today I will be putting the whole thing together, so wish me luck (tis the first time I've done such a thing).
Ofcourse I'll keep you updates with pictures, pc/3dmark scores and everything, oh and today is me birthday

, finaly turning 18
