You got the wrong RAM, my friend. That board requires DDR2, and PC3200 is just DDR. And are you getting an SCSI controller? That HD won't be much good without one

Burgerbob · 11-08-2006, 12:10 AM

it sounds alright, but instead of the 7950, i would get a 1900 of some sort, dont get a SCSI drive, and how the heck are you getting all that for only 1300 bucks or so?

pokemon87654 · 11-08-2006, 12:19 AM

Ok I added an SCSI drive, should I get one I'm sorry but I don't really know what they do, and the video card is still up in the air... so that one was about 250 after 30$ rebate, so if I was to get another I'd want it around that price.

As for how i got it so cheap, I look for the words-retail, and mail in rebates, or OEM on some things...

Thanks.

TheOrangeDude · 11-08-2006, 12:19 AM

I know the E6600 and the 7950gt is already = $700. Do you mind telling where u order this bad boy. I might buy another one for my bro since the prize sounds great.

Why do you have a SCSI drive? If you want one, you need to purchase a SCSI controller card.

I would recommend getting a SATAII drive, since there much cheaper and some of them also are 10K RPM.

I'm sorry my computer is out of date now and I'm not really sure about these, so your saying I can drop the SCSI and get a SATA II Drive?

Could you show me an example, thanks.
