I really need a professional advice about this... I want to know if this config is good or if it has any problems or conflicts MOTHERBOARD = ASUS A8N-SLI Premium PROCESOR = AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ sK 939 VENICE VIDEO = ASUS EN6600/TD/256 GF6600 256Mb DDRAM SILENCER RAM = DDR2 256Mb KINGSTON, GEIL OR KINGMAX? HDD = MAXTOR 120Gb SERIAL-ATA DiamondMax Plus 9 OR Maxtor 80 Gb 7200 Rpm 8Mb Serial-ATA 150 6Y080MO DiamondMax Plus 9 CDROM = ASUS BLACK QUIET 52X CASE = UTT ME09AL-BT-AIR ATX 450W 4,25x4 430(H)x200(W)x440(D) BLACK, USB+AUDIO IN FATA, TAC 1.1, LCD Display OR UTT PROFI4156B OR UTT IM09A-AS-AIR I would use any other advice
Well, lets see. 1.)You can't use DDR2 with the AMD side of things: it's not supported, nor will it fit due to the different pin-count and voltages. I don't know why you're limiting yourself to those three brands, either. Nothing's wrong with them, but you really might want to look at some other brands like Corsair, OCZ or Patriot as well. 2.)Most cases that come with a power supply don't include the highest quality ones, none of which you really even want to consider for a system with today's parts. This is one of the most important parts you can buy, so don't skimp or you'll regret it later. More info can be had here. 3.)If you're not planning to do SLI, then you might find it a good idea to go for the non-SLI A8N-E. 4.)There's been a growing list of people running into trouble with Maxtor drives, so you might find it worth your time to look at drives from Seagate and Western Digital.
later on id recommend to up the psu to a good brand name, stock with cases might not provide as much wattage as they say they do, and big bs right the memory controller on amd cpus cant yet provide ddr2 support, a 1 gb+ portion of DDR400 is recommended in two sticks so you can run dual channel
Thank you for the advice, I was sure DDR2 wouldn't work with Amd64 but I asked someone that said he knows and he told me it might fit.. Lucky my motherboard supports DDR so I can use it until I make an upgrade
