Need Input On Comp Build
I'm going to build a new computer in about two weeks, I've pretty much got all my parts picked out. I would just like any input, tell me if you can see any compatiblity crapups, or improvment suggestions. A hundred bucks either way won't kill me. This is my first build and I would appreciate any input. Also I'd like to now what would be better: onboard sound with this MoBo, or Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2.
Thank you, Marine_Bryan Model Asus M2N-SLI-Deluxe NVIDIA AMD Athlon64 X2 +4600 Diablo XKroma Glossy Black ATX 600 watt PSU with case XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX Edition / 256MB GDDR3 Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Dual Channel EL Platinum XTC 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 Caviar SE 16 / 250GB / 7200 / 16MB / SATA-300 Pioneer DVR-110DBK / 16x8x16x DVD+RW Pioneer DVR-110DBK / 16x8x16x DVD+RW Microsoft Windows XP Pro x64 CPU Fan Athlon64 X2 +4800 Hard Drive Fan 80mm Case Fan 80mm Case Fan

The Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 would be better than your onboard sound.
Is that board socket AM2?

The OCZ has compatibility with that MoBo? Might be right because I heard that MoBo was picky about RAM. But you got that MoBo so you'd know, thank you.

yes i do have that mobo and i was gonna order that exact RAM you have but i returned it when i got it. i researched well into this problem on ASUS website and OCZ website. If i remember correctly there is a problem with the Microns OCZ use and currently the mobo doesnt support it. they havent came out with a BIOS that fixes it that i know of, tho i havent checked in awhile. i would just be safe and get some CORSAIR since its already compatible with it. ill look into any bios updates concerning this problem and get back to you

thank you again. I'd been abit more than pissed if I built the comp and then learned the RAM doesn't work. I was researching it and thought I saw some thing about the BIOS update that clears that up.

go over to the asus forums and find the M2N-SLI Deluxe boards and search around for OCZ
