OP OP A Arbitus Baseband Member Messages 35 Jan 13, 2006 #22 I see, AMD out-runs intel on the games I see on there. lol So those links you gave me to the mobo, video card, and processor are all compatible with eachother and would run games very nicely?

OP OP A Arbitus Baseband Member Messages 35 Jan 13, 2006 #24 haha I think I just might have to get these then. Thanks a lot. Would my old DDR ram work with the mobo? I have two 256MB sticks, I think they are kingston, but I'll check later. What exact kind of ram does it take and how much would 2GB run me? EDIT: Oh, and would all this fit in my either of my standard Emachine cases?

W weringo In Runtime Messages 291 Jan 13, 2006 #25 It is compatible with DDR400, DDR333 and DDR266. You probably have DDR266 which will slow down your system by quite a bit. This is a good 2GB set G.SKILL Value 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM System Memory - Retail

F Flanker Banned Messages 2,327 Jan 13, 2006 #28 Wow, this thread was painful to read. Processor - AMD Opteron 148 (2.4Ghz, 1MB L2 cache). Equivalent of a Pentium 4 3.7GHz on stock speeds. Potential to overclock to 2.9GHz, making it equal a 4.64GHz Pentium 4. Link below; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103596 Motherboard - MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. One of the best around. Link; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130484 The videocards that you've chosen have SUCKED. They're been bottom-of-the-barrel cards that aeren't worthy of people in a gaming PC. Videocard; eVGA GeForce 6800GS. Awesome card, excellent price/performance. Link; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127200 No, you need a new case.

F Flanker Banned Messages 2,327 Jan 13, 2006 #30 If your budget is $300 for each item, then that is probably the best you'll get. You still need a new case. That stuff won't fit in your tiny e-machines case.
