Hailstorm Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I have a friend who wants me to put together a system for him. Needless to say, he has crap for a PC now. Here's what I found http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....ufactory=BROWSE http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....ufactory=BROWSE http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....ufactory=BROWSE Two sticks of this RAM so at least he will have dual channel. The Mother board has a onboard ATI 9200 and soundcard. I'll mod out his current case. throw in a fan or two. I need to get a PSU and a DVD burner. He is not a gamer, how ever the baord can be upgraded at a later date for a good AGP card. Anythoughts? I figured I'd throw some OC on it as well. But probly not much as we will be using the stock cooler. I know my 2.4c MO ran cool. I'll see with this one. But everything so far shipped is ubder $450 . Can anyone think of a better setup cheaper? I also do realize this a micro board. At least thats the way I read it. I can make do and mod his case if I have to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderChicken Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 (edited) get some corsair value select be a lil better than the mushkin you have there or get some pdp sticks of 512 for 177 those have nice timings and are fairly cheap Edited December 17, 2004 by ThunderChicken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailstorm Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Nice RAM,but I am trying to keep the cost down. My buddy has a crap job and a woman. Got to keep costs low as possible. He doesn't know about the over clocking I plan to do. I just wanted some good RAM is all. But, now I am thinking of the corsair....

Paranoid Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 (edited) Mushkin is great memory, and their value stuff is more than decent. It's atually better than Corsairs as far as I've seen. 2800th post Edited December 18, 2004 by Paranoid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendellrt Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 Corsair doesn't seem to be as high quality lately. Mushkin is considered a very high end RAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailstorm Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 I would prefer INtel, simply because I know it better than AMD. If for no other reason. Also,hyper threading is good to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendellrt Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 I had a hard time figuring out the new stuff with A64, but I got it in no time. Athlon XP, however, works just like Intel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
