The Official PC building thread!

Precisely, if you're going to do something, may as well do it properly. The only good low-cost monitor I've seen is the Sceptre, and you can't get those here! :-(

 

so im gettin viewsonic or if possible sceptre right?

wait what do yoyu mean you cant get those... they r at newegg.com

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...Ntk=all&N=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0

 

yeah the sceptre is a pretty good montior i would rate the Veiwsonci a little better though

lol sammorris lives in the UK Xevlys

 

I'd only say VS over Sceptre, because I've never seen the Sceptre. I 100% believe theone's account of his, but one guy's opinion is all I have to go on...

 

oh i see i guess newegg doesnt ship world wide? >_>

i guess now i just gotta wait for the price drop on the 25th. is it only processors or are all parts gonna drop in price?

 

Only US... :-(

 

Ha... whatever though.. they have pretty damn quality for a 150.00 LCD.. if i need to.. i have an extra power supply, if i get the 1900 and p/s in my compy does not have enough juice.. if i used a seperate power supply to just run the video card.. if the p/s is only running the video card everything should be stable.. i am getting the 2 molex connector.. so everything should work alright right?

 

As long as you can activate the second unit! But really, why not just get a better single unit?

 

Does this motherboard support ddr2 ram?

NO IT DOESNT at this point you really dont need ddr2 ram yet

 

O.. What kinda ram does it support?

 

This is after the fact... but what are your guys opinions on crucial memory, I noticed alot of people here use corsair?

 

ddp add ddr433(3500) to that list also

which iam running

 

To be honest, Crucial, Corsair, Mushkin, Gell and OCZ are all pretty safe bets. I use Corsair and like it, lots of overclockers use corsair, but really, who do you want to give your hard earned $ to?
The A8N32 won't support DDR2, no socket 939 board will, but you'll find no real performance gain with using socket AM2 and DDR2 and since it's more expensive, 939 and DDR1 is a better bet!

 

I have crucial, and it works great... they make their memorey their selves like kingston, hence why they are cheap.. except for the HyperX.
but i cant get a seperate powersupply because i dont have enough to get a new better 1.. but i have a couple saying around.. none 24pin though...
only the new 775 (LGA) and AM2 support DDR2.. but ddr2 is just prepreation. because both of the next gen cpu's are going to be using the DDR2. so older (939,754 and older intel) PC3200 Newer(AM2,775)
its a toss up.. but performance, their is a very very marginal gain with DDR2. soon to increase. but nothering to be worried over.

 

Thanks for all the imput...

 

hmm i got a question about the parts you linked me to. What is SLI? A buch of em have the logo that says "SLI ready" so i was just wondering what that was.
