Okie dokie, here's my current hardware config.
ASUS K7M Slot A Motherboard
AMD Athlon 800 Processor
250 Watt Power Supply
512 Megs PC100 SDRAM
eVga Nvidia GeForce 2 MX-400 64 Meg
12X DVD-ROM
Lite-on 16x10x40x CD-RW
56K Modem
3Com NIC
ESS Solo PCI Soundcard
Okay, I'm planning on buying one of two motherboards:
ASUS A7V333 or
Gigabyte 7VRXP w/ Athlon XP 1900+ (ThermalTake Volcano 7)
and this hardware
512 Meg stick Corsair PC2700 DDR
Enermax 350 Watt Power Supply
MSI GeForce 4 MX440 64 Meg w/ TV out.
My questions are: Which mobo would you recommend?(They're both close in price). I've heard the Gigabyte is faster, but I'm also looking for a good fast/stable configuration. Also, would Samsung memory work just as well as Corsair (and save me 30 bucks). Also, my current eVga graphics card is alright, but I have problems with XP rebooting (infinite loop issue) and I'd like to have a stable, well built machine. One last thing is, do I need a larger power supply with the new processor? I was told I could use my 250 watt and be fine. Okie dokie, the thing I need here is SPEED and STABILITY. I'm a casual gamer that would like to keep his computer up and running all the time, not resetting every five seconds like my current config. I'm buying all these parts from: www.goroyalpc.com. Thanks alot! I'll have pics of the finished product once I'm done. Also, do I really need a new graphics card? Just checkin. I need lotsa input. Thanks everybody!
