CPU price war continues

[Chewy]

Can't I start with a 1GB stick and add another later? Or more than 2GB needed?

that's not a bad idea, at first I thought it would be but the 1 gig sticks
have come down in price

I was thinking 1GB was enuff. I ordered the mobo and brisbane already I seen the other mobo but it only had 1 PATA connector for 2 devices.


Did the animated smilies go away?

Me, I just got my AMD 4000+ San Diego in and put it away for now.
I'm building a new gaming rig and for $62, you just can;t beat the deal.
Witht he Asus A8N32-SLI board, this proc. will hit 3.0 speeds easily.

I haven;t decided on memory yet, wether I'll move my Geil PC3500 Duel channel over, or go with the Corsair PC3200 2G with SLI.
I'm currently watching the prices on the video cards, since I'll be running 2 in SLI.
I'm a bigger fan of ATI cards, but I'll be going with nVidia (probably XFS) for this setup.
The odd thing is this mobo/proc. are outdated, but for as cheap as I can build it and the performance will hit higher than most current level builds..it;s just a no brainer.... I did order a 2nd 4000+ and put it back, jic one bites the dust, but at that price, it;s still cheap.

At this price for the Crucial Ballistic PC6400 2GB KIT AR I might as well go 2GB from jump street

@ Chewy - if not the Crucial Ballistix which of the 3 u listed would you get for the Asus board I got and the brisbane?

Thanks again

[Chewy]

it's a toss up really

those were the best deals I could find on highly rated ram

OCZ I think it is going to be I like the name and it's on the cheap

Thanks for your help, as you always do

[jm1647]

@Chewy - oh giver of advice I'm gonna order the OCZ 2GB RAM today or tomorrow. Got any suggestions for a HSF combo to put the pedal to the metal for the AM2 brisbane chip? Thanks again

[Chewy]

well it's a low power user, I wouldn't break the bank or go too far with the OC?

mild overclock in warmer room

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185125

little heavier overclock and use

and then any high dollar one

[jm1647]

@Chewy Thanks again!!!! I ain't trying to set the world on fire with the OC just start a lil flame in the CPU as close to 3GHZ as I can get The Asus MOBO has the 4 pin CPU fan connector so I think I'll go with the Artic...fits a buncha sockets/Chips too 40 CFM low noise tho low noise ain't important, it'll be in the basement.

I would be happy with 2.5, that's 5 gigahertz of heat you'll have to get rid of.
Course if you do toast it, they are cheap
