It looks really nice man....just didnt realize that the motherboards were running at those odd MHz.

[Bushwacker]

Yeah I know what you mean. Struck me kinda funny to.

[Darakian]

max ddr1 runs @ stock is 200hmz (DDR 400)
434 is helps when you over clock though ;)

[Almuric]

well that explains. :) I never overclock.

[Bushwacker]

Well guy's my proc will be here Tuesday. Closer and closer.;)

[Almuric]

which one did you order again?

[Bushwacker]

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual-Core. ;)

[Darakian]

Dual core rocks man ;)
Being able to burn a DVD while playing a game is priceless :D

[Bushwacker]

So anyone want to recomend a good power supply.
Has to be atleast 550w and minimum 30 amps. The quieter the better.

[Almuric]

wish I could say I've used a PS that big. Good luck man.

[Bushwacker]

Well the reason for such high requirments is because my video card has to have 30amps running one card 38amps if I run two.

[Almuric]

I've already decided that my next PC wont have dual cards. Not even gonna put a MB with dual slots in it. I've looked at the performance charts and wasnt that impressed with the improvement you get for twice the investment.
