the mobo ur talking about is it MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR? cuz im thinking of buying that. and 3000+ to 3200+ is the only thing that comes with 400Mhz FSB rite? cuz i checked and 2800+ is only 333MHz

no the one his talking about nForce2 maybe by nVidia. and yea the 2800 is only 333mhz fsb the 3000 and the 3200 are both 400mhz fsb and if u buy those then get ddr 400

ur talking about ram, u have to match them rite 400 to 400 rite?

u dont have to match them but it u have a 400 fsb cpu then 400mhz ram will make it faster but if u have a 333 fsb cpu and u have 400mhz ram then the ram will be being held back by the cpu also if your cpu is 400fsb and u have 333mhz ram then the cpu will be being held back. so it is a good thing to match them but u dont have to

ok, so a pc3200 512MB DDR 333Mhz is good for 2800+ rite

Yeah....what he said.

You want to match frequencies on your RAM and Processor. The Front Side Bus is the frequency each of them operates along that "bridge" and thus if they don't match, one will be waiting for the other. It won't be bad to the point where it sucks ass, but it's still a nice little boost in performance.

Well, I certainly learned a heck of a lot in this topic, thanks. That actually solves my problem completely. I'm an AMD fan, also. Been one since we left the Pentium-II ^_^ back in '97... '98...? The good ol' days...

Anyways, thanks for the information. Check's in the mail. All that jazz.

Oh, your soundcard is missing, if that nVidia board can do what the latest Audigy can do, then go for that... otherwise... Creative's the way to go I think.

I'm running Audigy with ATI Radeon 9700 Pro under 1.25 gigs of SDRAM on my AMD 1600XP plugged into an EPoX (8KTA+ ?) board. Runs great for me, but I'm going to be updating the CPU, and thus the Motherboard and thus the RAM soon.

i went to couple of the store in my area to check out the prizes and compare. im still looking for a good Tower, it should be cheap and should have lot of room

I bought a server tower... it's tall so there is room but with 3 hard drives and three cd/dvd drives, there are lots of cables bunched up in one area. just find something that looks good (at least that's what i did).
