I'm pretty sure you misread. My understanding of the review was that Geil ram was the already overclocked stuff. The Corsair was really good, the only negative thing I got out of it, was that it was only PC3000 instead of PC3200 like the other two brands. When they were talking about it being...

It's possible that I misread the review and actually the Corsair is also PC3200. I'm not sure. Did you check out the link or just base your response on my post? P.S. The post before that post is important. I'm waiting for responses before I make my final decisions tomorrow morning. (I...

I was just comparing Samsung memory and Corsair memory. The best comparison I could find is here: (please use link) http://www.tweaktown.com/document.php?dType=article&dId=329&dPage=4 It seems like Samsung blows Corsair out of the water in this review. Is it because the Samsung is PC3200...

Please help me to confirm these statements: (please use links) 1) This is the Asus A7N8X Deluxe we've been talking about: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=The+Asus+A7N8X+Delux 2) It costs about $150.00 dollars. 3) This is the Corsair memory...

There's a topic I haven't addressed; which Windows XP do I want? I should know this, but what is the difference betwen Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Pro? I had Windows XP Pro on my old system, but I didn't really pay much attention to the differences. My brother uses Windows XP Home...

Re-read my last post. I probably edited it since you last read it. I'll be back on the forums in 45 minutes.

Since I don't plan on overclocking, the Asus A7N8X Deluxe seems to be the best choice. I will most likely go with that motherboard. Will that motherboard allow me to do whatever it is your talking about? On Monday I will have to make my decision on which motherboard to purchase. I'll be...

So after I buy the motherboard and memory I'll have to do something in the BIOS before I can run at DDR400 speeds? You'll have to explain how to do that for me...

Big B, just make sure we're still friends 10 years from now. You'll be the one to take my $20,000 dollars and spend $10,000 on each of us for a dream PC. =) For $10,000 dollars, you can build mine for me. :p

This is my third post in a row, so don't skip the two before this one =) I was just wondering what the maximum "healthy" temperature of your PC should be (or mine.) I want to keep my PC as cool as possible, but I feel like I should have a focus point to start with. What is the highest...

http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=43837#43837 Someone at the above forum posted this: "With regards to the fastest ram available without overclocking, surely the fastest ram would be PC2700, given that the fastest AMD processor only runs on a 333mhz FSB. Then, of course...

Does this mean: two sticks of Corsair XMS PC3200 512RAM? "CMX512-3200C 2XMS3202 v1.1 , CL2.5" So the Asus only has room for 3 fans compared to your current board which uses 5 fans? I'll have to figure out a secondary method of cooling. I want to keep my PC as cool as possible at all times...

Very nice Big B!!!!!!!!! You've still got over $2,000 dollars to spend! You can include accessories such as: Keyboard, Mouse, Moniter, Printer...etc... :D

I really don't want to spend more than $400 dollars for a single hard drive. Building my first PC won't be much of a risk though. I'll have my cousin right there beside me leading me through the process. He has several college degrees in computer tech. stuff. He's built more PC's than I can...

Thank you Harrack!!!!! I love those long posts! You should have edited it too... hahaha, just kidding harrack. It was very helpful. Thank you. In fact, I have some more questions for you now. Which motherboard spec is it that you use to determine whcih DDR memory you can use? Is it the fsb...

I just thought I'd ask a few questions since this thread doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention yet. =) You can have more than one processor in one computer? (2, 4) How much do those Seagate Cheetah 15,000RPM SCSI hard drives cost? What is a RAID 5 setup? Not an Intel or AMD...

I understand that the PC3500, PC3200, etc... is the speed of the memory. I understand that the 512RAM, 256RAM, etc... is the amount of memory. I don't know what the DDR 333, DDR 400, etc... is... What is it? Please explain. What does it do, and what is the best? What would you...

I came across an interesting statement: "Coupling the nForce2 SPP with the nForce2 MCP-T you get the top of the line motherboard. Throw in a Ti 4600 video card and you have the best PC on the market (all with NVIDIA chipsets, ironically)." This statement, to me, indicates that this would...

Guess what? Yep, you guessed it. I have more questions for you! I was just doing more research on the nForce2 chipset and was wondering what the differences are between the different types of nForce2 chipsets are. Here are some unfimiliar terms: - MCP-T - MCP - SPP - IGP I'm assuming...

I was just doing more research on motherboards. I was reading the one about the nForce2 chipset. In one of the paragraphs it says this: "The new 128-bit memory controllers also have a few more upgrades including an increase in memory bandwidth from 4.2 GB/s to 6.4 GB/s. Also, the amount of...
