I posted lower down in the thread for an answer to the RAM ???? for the configuration listed. Need some hardware heads if you please:

PC133 is good for that system. I don't think the motherboard you chose will work with DDR.

Where to get it? I don't know. I haven't run across many non-US stores online.

That was back in the good old days Voog. I would say anybody who has been thinking about buying more, do it now while these low prices last.

I'm back from the shopping spree. I bought Crucial 256MB, PC-133-cas 2 for $96.00 USand 10% off with no shipping. Should be about $170.00 or there abouts. Not to bad.

Now I want to find the best cooling for a 1000 T-bird on a a7v board. I know that being me means to overclock once I learn more about this hardware stuff so I need an over rated cooling fan I guess. I was looking at the Arctic Wind Plus, High Output:

What do you think?


Are all brands of thermal cooling compounds the same? If not, which is the best for my needs?

Cheers!

i would personally want a bigger heatsink than that...it just looks too small...AMD cpu's tend to run a little warm...i have a FOP38 on my cpu, it cools great, you just have to be able to stand the noise from the fan...

That is another requirment. I am used to a nice quite Compaq 4540. I can use the speaker phone right next to the tower with no disruptions in the modulation on the other end of the line. Very quiet.

Cheers!

Weight: 163 gms
Noise: 48 true db
RPM: 4690
Test Temperature: 45 deg.

Pretty comprehensive and easy to digest. Made my selection process go a little smoother. Thanks goes out to flash4master for this link he sent to me on ICQ.
