Well these questions, or lack thereof, are the reason he left. He'll probably be back to answer. Anyways here is what I think. First does the motherboard even have a built in gfx chip? Also I would recommend spending a little more money and going socket 939. Probably and Athlon 64 3500+ and an Asus A8V Deluxe. This way you'll have more upgradability in the future as AMD is not sure how long it will be supporting socket 754. Also I would search that site more thoroughly and see if you can find Dual Channel 1GB of your chosen memory as it will be cheaper than buying them seperatly. |
