After the holidays I am planning on getting a new computer… I was wondering if anyone could give this a run through for compitibility issues and the like? Also I got all this from cyberpowerinc.com, where I will be having my computer built from:
TURBO X-INFINITY Case 420W W/ WINDOW & LCD Temperature Display
(800Mhz FSB) Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU @ 3.0GHZ 1MB w/ Hyper Threading
(DDR400-800MHz FSB)ABIT IS7-V2 848P, Intel® i848 Mainboard PRESCOTT SUPPORT w/ LAN & 5.1 SOUND W/SATA
(I dont know much about MBs so is this good? I am open to suggestions)512 MB PC2100 266MHz DDR MEMORY
80GB 7200 RPM ATA 100 HARD DRIVE
ATI Radeon 9600 SE 128MB DDR AGP 8X w/ TV-Out & DVI
(again I am not the most well informed about graphics cards… will this be suffcient for The Sims2, RCT 3 and the like? Also I read in another post where the MB was compatible witht the Graphics card… can you double check this please?)SONY 16X DVD-ROM
CD-RW 52X32X52
3D WAVE ON-BOARD 5.1 SOUND CARD
INTEL CERTIFIED CPU FAN & HEATSINK
120 WATT STEREO SPEAKERS
PCI 56K V.92 FAX MODEM W/ VOICE
ONBOARD 10/100 NETWORK CARD
( we have RoadRunner so this will be used more than the 56k)Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition w/ Service Pack 2
Grand Total (includes shipping)- $802.00
So is this any good for a computer?
If that motherboard has serial ata, wouldn’t you want to get a serial ata hard drive? I’m sure many of you would be able to address that much better than I would but that’s somethink I saw. Also, if you’re going to spend that much money on a machine, I might put 1 GB of ram instead of 512 MB. If you build it with that configuration, if anything would hold it back it would be only 512 MB of memory.
Like a said, I dont know much when it comes to motherboards… I’ll wait till I get a few more replies
(edit) also 800 is about my max…. does it really matter if it is SaTA or ATA? and to doulble the RAM is to add another 100 bucks, isnt 512 suffcient?
