Thanks Big B thats made it very clear cheers :good:

So does anyone know just how different these barebones PSU's are? And Is it possible to use and ordinary PSU like what you would use in a desktop?

SATA (oh dear not more new technology :o ) is a strange concept to me. As I understand it you must first intall sata drivers to use a sata HDD :confused: wait a minute how do I install them if cant use the hdd yet? Basically how does one go about installing and using a sata drive.

Ive recently been looking at barebones systems and have discovered that almost all come with PSU's Below 300W. Now say I was to get a barebones system and equip it with an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ with a pretty good 256mb graphics card, Large and fast HDD plus a dvd RW. Not to mention multiple usb...

Top stuff Thanks Guys :good:

This is an old duron mind you and i heard that older duron's took a different socket (i cant remember where or if i heard this :rolleyes: ) So are you guys certain that all durons ever have been socket A?

After building a new system I passed my old computer down the family. Its got a AMD Duron 900 processor and the fan recently blew. Im going to replace the heatsink as well but I need to know what socket Duron 900's use? :rolleyes:

Doesnt matter Ive just found out that Arctic silver isnt suitable for long term use :mad:

AMD have proven that thermal grease isnt suitable so like i said Only answer if You know for sure. :good: Ninja did you mean Arctic silver is ok to use on amd chips. And are you certain

course if your made of money you could get a ATI Radeon X800 XT which will also give the benefit of good future proofing. It is REALLY expensive :eek: though so dont go getting yourself into debt or anything.

Amd tell me that you shouldnt use thermal grease on the cpu becuase due to the higher running temps of amd chips it can dissapate after time. Arctic silver is a liquid substance aswell but but will it dissapate like termal grease :swt: Please only answer if you know for sure Thanks :good:

I just got doom3 and am amazed by the performance of my comp when playing. However it does push my cpu temp up a bit. Although this has not caused any problems yet it would be nice to get that temp down a bit. I currently have a Antec Truepower 430W PSU which automatically alters the speed of...

Oh my god has the world gone crazy :guns: What is with the massive takeover of inferior and un efficient computer mice. Optical mice are far too light and dont have much of a ground clearence, and those that are wireless are hit by insufferable intererence that cannot be avoided, not matter...

Heres the thing, I got 512mb Crucial PC3200 DDR ram and am about to upgrade to a gig. I noticed alot of people on this site state that they have two different makes installed, and often one might be PC3200 and another PC2700. Does this matter if both dimms are compatible with the motherboard...
