Re: OT: Help buying a new computer
Thanks so much Thermodyne, that should help a LOT! 
Could you tell me the website you found all those components at, because it would be easiest for me to buy there if possible, since they obviously have everything that you've just listed

Re: OT: Help buying a new computer
Actually they do, but just not off of the web site. You'll have to prepay in dollars, but your bank can take care of that.

Re: OT: Help buying a new computer
If you want to use linux do not buy ATI cards. ATI only recently started build linux drivers and they suck at the moment. ASUS motherboards sometimes don't work in linux but the ASUS A8N-E looks like it works. If you have no intention of using linux just tell me to shut up. |

Re: OT: Help buying a new computer
ASUS K8N4-E DELUXE Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3000BPBOX - Retail
The motherboard is socket 754, and the Processor is socket 939...how does this work? I'm slightly confused here.
