The A7N266 isn't bad, but it's really not good either. Get the A7N8X-E Deluxe. Now THERE'S a good AMD32 board.

You should go w/ a Thermaltake case too. Seeing as to how that case is only $22, and has a power-supply in it, I strongly suggest you remove the PSU and buy a new one (if you stay w/ the Dynapower case) Cheap PSU's tend to take down as MUCh as the possibly can when they die.

About the processor: Why not get a 2500+ and the A7N8X board?

Get another 256 DIMM while you're at it. 512 is MUCH better than 256.

Sure this may cost a bit more, but IMHO, it's WELL worth it.

Ok, I'm done communizing your computer now.

Oh, one more thing... don't expect to do too many intense 3D games w/ that vid-card. On-board Videocards stink. They use the system RAM to power them, and they're usually cheap 32bit (64 if you're lucky) VIA cards.

hahahahaha! Suckers! I have a dual format dvd writer! 160 gig hd, a p4 hyper threading at 3 gigahertz, a radeon 9200, 512 mb of ram, and of course win xp. i also got it with a printer/scanner and a seventeen inch lcd screen for $1500!

Cool

Too bad all that computer power won't help much unless you're:

1. Using it for a server
2. Multitasking 40 programs or so
3. Playing games with ultra-excellent graphics
4. Using a lot of security

I guess there's more, but ye get the point.

And that's $1500 USD, right?

IMHO lcd is schitt

LCD is no good for games, and your Radeon 9200 is a system bottleneck.

Ro@m · Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2004 1:51 pm Post subject:

9700 is MUCH better!

9800 is the best right now for ATi, 5950 for nVidia.

For someone who doesn't play games or use 3-D modeling, is getting one of those video cards a spectacular waste of money? I think so.
