That's a nice list of components. I'm sure that you will be happy with it.

[grampy]

So everything looks compatible without needing any changes?

[BipolarBill]

As long as the motherboard has the same port as the video card, it will be fine.

Oh - and the RAM should be at least PC3200.

[naptownman]

Looks pretty good to me as well. Not sure why you want XP Pro, though. You could save a few bucks just going with home.

I didn't bother with a floppy drive on my new set up. Well I did stick one in on setting the system up but I didn't actual use it.

[grampy]

I am getting a floppy just because I have so many of them and you never know when you might need to boot something from one.Besides for $8.. what the heck.

Ye I did that once, few days later, I needed a floppy, I install them, most of my customers still need em.


looks like a nice system set up, id go with what Bill said up your memory to PC3200.

[grampy]

It shows that it is the Corsair Value select 1Gb (2x512Mb) (pc3200) so I am assuming that is what you are telling me I should get.

[orkboss]

Yes i bought something similiar, Crucial 2 x 512Mb

Have read a lot of posts about the stability being better with the XP Pro vs. home edition.
