plz help a first time builder out...

okay, so i changed up my mobo and the ram a bit.... the mobo is now ASUS A8N-SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131524.... and i upgraded the ram to CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820145450... is this better suited to the rest of my specs? praetor, maybe you can give me another numerical break down.. thx
 
Thanks for your respond Praetor. I understand now. I still wonder where you get your ratings.

Also "crap" is a harsh word. lol

hijacker, seeing that it is the holidays, newegg hasn't got the parts to my house yet. I'm still waiting on the shippment.

When I get the parts, if you still want my opinion by then, I will tell you how it runs.

how is that board better than the asus one?

1. Sure you're missing the SLI but that board can be modded to SLI if you're so desparate for it; furthermore, SLI is seriously overrated IMO
2. For non-sli mode, that LP board will run circles around the A8NSLI DLX
3. The A8NSLI DLX has a known "my northbridge fan is gonna die" issue, the LP doesnt :)

I would still say "crap" is a harsh word. lol

Possibly but now at least you see where and why I said so :)
 
Well, HiJacker. I got the 3 products above finally. Installed them...

Havent had a problem yet, exept a memmory problem.

System runs great so far. I am having some small file errors but not because of the mobo.
