Technically, that all should work. However, I've heard of some compatibility issues when those AGP and PCI Express board. Also, if there are no compatibility issues with the RAM, boards like that typically are limited to single channel(so even less performace) Finally, your PSU. You should at least check it's amps...

I've read up that the board runs both DDR and DDR2 type RAM (not at the same time though) but it can run them in dual channel :D

What would be the recomended Amps for a PSU to run that system as I am getting the same board and CPU (as Nevakonaza allready knows) :)

Nah. In games, the most difference I saw was maybe 2FPS :p Search around, there are a few benchmarks comparing the two RAM standards.

please answer Kornowskis question before mine...:)

Now for my question.

Would a 400W Psu like what i have be powerfull enough for the system im considering putting together?

To both of you, I'd try to stay somewhere around 26A. Without too much of a video card or other additional devices you might be just fine going less, but I feel that's a good round number for an "average" computer. However, I'm not exactly sure of the power requires of that machine. Don't be skimpy, either! It's MUCH more safe to have too much power than just enough/not enough.

Well it would cost me around £182.95

to upgrade to what i want too.....so you guys think it will be a decent performer?

I will upgrade the Gfx card at a later date to a Pci-e graphics card but for now my 9600 pro is good enough.

no good asking me about power supplies mate cos i dont have a clue:D

But as i mentioned on your Psu thread i would get a new one if your one your using now keeps making your system restart.
You dont want that to keep happening on your new C2D system do you?:D
only problem is for you thats more it will cost in upgrading:(

Lol, Me neither! I was wondering if that one would work for both of us :p

Yeah, I wouldn't want that would I! I don't know if a new PSU will solve the problem though :eek:

Yeah, I know :(
 
lovely?

lovely?

the answer is yes it'll work, but dont expect to be able to overclock and if you upgrade to a pci-e video card then i suspect that you will have to upgrade you PSU again, which is a big hassle

Click to expand...

Its no problem mate....No point in creating another thread for the questions i would have asked anyway :D

Just another question.

The e6300 runs at 1.86Ghz right?

Is this its total running power or is it double that because its dual core?
