My friend came to me to help design a computer. He is building this from a grant he recieves through his work. I was wondering if I might employ the posters here to double check and make sure I didn't leave any holes or pick out anything that will not fit with the other items.

if you're getting 4gb of ram, (i'm not sure if this is true), but i've heard you need 64-bit vista to utilize it. (or any 64-bit os)

4GB is overkill... get 2GB if your staying with the 32-bit, and maybe get an better video card. It would help to put an link and price on each... (for example : look how many amps on the rails)

Thanks for all the help so far. I really don't want to have him order the wrong thing, newegg is good about returns within 7 days but still. Better not to need the return. |
