Hey Guys,


Im building my own computer this summer and I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions:

Hard Drive Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB 7200RPM 40-Pin Hard Drive

Mother Board Soyo SY-A18A0 Barebones Intel P4 Motherboard

Graphics card ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9600 Pro AGP 128MB DDR 3D/TV Tuner

Floppy Cicero Internal 1.44MB 3.5

Ram Kingston Technology 512MB 184-Pin PC266 DDR Memory

Sound Card Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS Sound Card

Ethernet Card Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PC Card

CD Rom's LG GCE-8525B 52X32X52 CD-RW Drive, Cicero 52X CD-ROM Drive

Is this stuff any good also i want 1 gig of ram but i can't find it anywhere stores like radio shack and future shop only sell up to 512 where can i go to get it and also when u buy a mother board is the processer included

Thanks guys im so exited it's my frist PC!! and im only 13 Maybe i Can break a record J/k lets just hope it works lol

Thanks Agian

Go to Crucial's website. They have great RAM for a decent price, get two sticks of 512. I would also get an Antec PSU (atleast 430watts). If you don't want to overclock and want a very stable board, go with one of the Intel boards, 875 chipset if you're looking into the future.

Of course, if you're building this in the summer, then maybe boards with PCIexpress will be out and Intel will have their new chipsets out too.

Don't I already have an intel board? and also what will the 875 board do? where could I ick up a Antec 430 watt ps?? Whats overclocking?? 2 512 sticks of ram was my origanal idea but won't a 1 GB stick be cheaper??

AMD's Make me sick

I mean an actual Intel board built by Intel. The 875p chipset has enhanced Hyper Threading support, PAT which has enhanced dual channel DDR support.

Got to Antec's site for ordering information. Circuit City and Bestbuy sometimes cary their PSU's.

If you got two sticks of 512, you can run dual channel DDR which enchances performance.

thanks so much man! soo u mean like order it off of intel?
like go to there site or do stores carry them?

No, you listed a Soyo board. Soyo makes boards that support Intel CPU's and Intel chipsets. Asus does the same thing. But, I ment get a board from Intel, not a 3rd party developer.

Stores normally do not carry them, you'd have to get them from newegg or zipzoomfly.
