Look into getting a better case such as the Antec 900

kof2000 · 06-25-2007, 07:41 AM

nothings wrong with that case. i have both. is just that the antec 900 has this big ass fan on the top.

Get the antec 900 from fry, change your ram to like PC2 8500 and get 4gb instead, i would rather get the corsair 620w than mushkin as a psu and wait for july 22 when prices drops and you can get the QX6800 for the same price the QX6700 is right now

Why would he need 4GB of RAM, slight overkill...

quite true....it would be nice to have 4gb of ram but i dont think its needed right now.

plus wouldnt he have to get a 64bit edition of windows to be able to use all 4gb?

maybe he already has an os though.

yea i have both vista 32-bit and 64-bit so the 4GB isn't a problem, i just need to know if the motherboard is really compatible with that ram, becouse if you read the specs it only says standard memory DDR2 1200

Unless you really want 7.1 sound I'd go with these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836121122 over what you have there.

Memory is backwards compatible with that type, e.g.:

DDR2-800 can run on a board that supports DDR2-1200 but DDR and SDR won't work unless it has separate slots.
