that is going to build my PC. l am going with 2GB 800MHz of standard ram

no high performance ram.
l am not going to use any special
Viewed 7704 times
hard drive things like Raid 0 or what ever its called. I am also not going
to overclock anything. The rest of the PC is hardware has not been 100%
conformed either.
l know l am going to get the x1600 Pro video
card or a card that is a little better. l got a nice real aluminium case to
go with it.
Question one? l heard this mobo has a bad rap but
then if its this troublesome why does the tech at the shop recommend
it?
Question two? Whats the deal with that weird Orange tube
that looks like liquid cooling on the board?
Question three? I
am going with dual AMD644200+
Processors where do they go on the
board?
More info to come asap. probably 2 mins or so
I am
going to wait 1-6 months before l get this PC made. I am not looking for a
pro gaming PC only a good one. l got my eyes on a 600 Watt cool man power
supply as well.
The total price after tax should be around
1900-2200 the tech says for the PC just the tower of course.
/>Other hardware 1 300-350GB hard drive at least 7200RPM.
/>Question 4?The reason for the 1-6 months is windows vista and physics
cards? Do you think in the next 4 years most games will need a physics
card? l know l canbuy a new mobo when that time comes. So the real problem
is waiting for windows vista. I am not paying $600 to upgrade to vista no
way!
Question 5!?l really need to know this one people. If l get
myself custom build PC at a good PC shop like the one l have been going to
for a few years do they make sure the PC is running fine before l pick it
up? Can l get them to installed the video card and all the hardware and
software for the hardware like It says windows XP include will they
install it for me?and the video card and at least make sure the PC can
start up and shut down without any errors?
Thanks for your time
and help. Please help me with anything question 1-5 or anything else l may
have talked about. Remember l am not looking for a Leading edge PC only a
stable PC that will run games in the Sim2 , Battlefield 2 range well. Any
help is welcomed.
And sorry l need a mother board with at least 4
USB ports and at least 1 firewire port. Well l might get away with 3USB
but l need a firewire for sure.
