New PC, need advice

Thanks for the reactions!

Good to know DDR2 doesn't work with AMD's. It would be better if I'd put 2 gigs of DDR1's in then or is that a bit excessive? Perhaps 1,5 gig? I thought DDR2 was a faster and better memory type. Btw the DDR2 one is just as expensive, if not less, as the DDR1.

- Kingston 1GB DDR PC3200 CL3 ValueRAM (KVR400X64C3A/1G) €83,70
- Kingston 1GB DDR PC3200 CL3 (2x512) Dual Channel Kit ValueRAM €84,95
- Kingston 1GB DDR PC2700 CL2.5 ValueRAM (KVR333X64C25/1G) €89,90

Which is the best one? The last one has a faster CL, but is it really worth it? It's only a few bucks difference, so I'd like to know which one is "actually" better.


"How much is that 6800GT setting you back?"

In what context do you mean by this? Money-wise or performance-wise (unlikely)?
Anyways my current graphicscard is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB. I've seen charts that do show that the GF 6800 GT has a considerable increase in performance incomparance with the 9800 Pro. Maybe I'll take a look at the GF 7800's to see whether or not it's worth the higher price. I was a bit disappointed with the 9800 Pro, that's why I'm looking at Geforce again. However maybe the ASUS ATI EAX800XL 256Mb PCI-e which costs €275,50, whereas the GF 6800 GT costs €259,95, is the better pick. Not to keen on a misbuy again though.


Because my old PSU was to weak to feed my 9800 Pro properly, I bought an Antec Truepower 480 Watt. Going to take this one out and put the 400 Watt of the new sys in my old PC (My mom's getting my old PC - cycling )


The zalman cooler is just fine then
