    Thanks for posting that, airbornflght. :)

    That's more in line with what we are about as a site. :wave:

    Hey I said sry too! Anyway check out my sys up above^^. I think you'll agree. Even put in the monitor. Airborn I agree with EVERYTHING you said in this thread COMPLETELY. Shrief, if I angered you or anything, I'm sry, and don't take this personally, but just do a little research before you set out to build or break your friends $800+ system.

    yeh, that was the point I was trying to make. $800 is a lot of money to make an uninformed investment with(at least to me).:vimp:

    Like I said I really hate bashing other people, and I could really even care less if you would like to carry on with your antics of using 2nd and 3rd gen hardware, but when you go so far as to try and give your friend a 3rd rate rig, thats what gets me hot under the collar.

    WTF are you talking about ??? ... 3rd gen hardware? ... Lets just get one thing strait ... I have built 3 computers (so far) ... they are up to date and running perfectly ...

    ...Apologies have been offered. Take this as your last warning. -Prof

    ...get back to the explaining part of why you love AMD so much! ... (you guys have sort of convinced me that he might want to go with AMD but if he does that then we need to start looking for a new Mother Board that will support it ... and if u want to do that PCI-e thing then we can talk)

    I have a feeling I left out something in the sys I posted.

    I think by the 100-post mark we can safely say that shorty28898 is not so uninformed. :thumbup

    I see what the problem is here. Shrief is actually a Time traveler from the past that has come to make Airborn pay for his sins.

    does that AMD setup with the processor i said seem to be fine for MB and RAM?
    Just go with the CPU I listed and save your money. The 3500 isn't fast enough over the 3200 to warrant the extra cost. The board I listed is solid as well as the RAM. I would suggest going with the 1GB kit of the same RAM if you dodn't want to spend the cash for 2GB.

    Hey prof, that one post you edited on the last page, I left you a note in it, cause I edited it before you, but I think it was already on your screen the old way before I edited it so you in effect reverted it. Anyway, I changed it back to the way I changed it. I didnt really intend for anyone to read it after I read it and went omg, Im a natzi!!..

    And actually, the mods are important here. That is why we have such a good comunity. Thank god the actually admins or some of the "stricter" mods havent came accross the thread, (sorry leo.):tongue:

    are you saying not to use 2 sticks of ram? if you dont use 2 sticks, how do you suspect we should run in dual channel mode?:confused:

    You have to run two sticks of RAM on any new Intel or AMD platform, unless you want to halve your memory bandwidth and choke the CPUs.

    Unless you are like me and stuck with a s754 system that doesnt support dual channel, then, the cpu is choked no matter what. I cant wait to upgrade,

    interesting ... so you say that it just wont work out if you put a 1 GB ram card with this platform?

    and what do you mean by
    unless you want to halve your memory bandwidth and choke the CPUs.

    is that even possible lol!... and if it doesnt support duel channels then we need one that does

    uhh ohh ... Leo is comming RUN FOR THE HILLS ... GET OUT OF THE WAY :hiding::hiding::hiding: :smokin:

    Yes, you need 2 sticks (one for each channel) for the newer AMD and Intel systems to run full throttle. You will be limited to 64-Bit memory bandwidth with only one channel but will go to 128-Bit bandwidth with both channels. The new AMD CPU's have a big advantage over the Intel chips because the memory controller in on the chip and not part of the motherboard chipset. This speeds everything a lot!

    let me try and illustrate it for you.

    when you use one stick of memory, it is running in single channel mode, their are 2 memory chanels. So you are only using half of what is available, and the cpu wants to use both channels to be as fast as possible.

    Im going to bed, all this bickering has got me tired, and I have to get up at 6 tommorrow for work.:doh:

    Yes, you really don't want to get on his wrong side. And truth be known, my wrong side isn't any better! But I do detect some improvement. :thumbsup:

    Here is a revised list with a vid card more to your needs and 1GB memory. It all comes to about $667.00. Let me know if I missed something.
