P4 size fit 64bit mb?

[raiden_nrl]

Hey I was looking at this case but it says it is great with compatibility for a P4 motherboard.

Here is the case

The motherboard I am buying is This MB

Are they compatible?

Both links go to the case.

The motherboard will fit if its an ATX motherboard. It doesnt matter what type of CPU you have. What matters is the form factor of the motherboard. ie: AT vs ATX vs BTX vs mATX

Oh yeah this is the link MB
And it says ATX so I guess i'll buy this one, thanks for the help!

99% of cases and motherboards are ATX. you'd have trouble finding a motherboard and case that didn't work together (unless you get a micro ATX case)

I would have gone with a MSI Neo-4 motherboard and a 6800GS but anyway your build looks pretty good, although I would have just went with the regular XP Home.

 

[raiden_nrl]

Doesn't xp 64 perform faster?

99% of cases and motherboards are ATX. you'd have trouble finding a motherboard and case that didn't work together (unless you get a micro ATX case)

Yeah just the "Fits standard p4 boards" stumped me a bit.

 

[raiden_nrl]

Oh I also bought two

Asus Extreme N6800GT GeForce 6800GT SLI Ready 256MB DDR3(1GHz) Dual DVI-I, S-Video/Composite Out PCI Express Video Card

For SLI so I hope it is worth my money.

changed from the

Asus Extreme N6600GT/TD nVidia GeForce 6600GT(500MHz) 128MB(1GHz) 128Bit DDR SLI Ready S-Video/Composite DVI-I PCI Express Graphics Card

Will it perform alot better?

 

[Waphlez]

How much did the 6800GT's cost you? Because 6800GS's are cheaper then any current 6800GT's I've seen and they perform just the same.

Personally I would have went with a 7800GT (300 dollars) and then later SLI them. You get all the goodies of the geForce 7 series, but 6800GTs in SLI should last you a while.

IMO, you should of bought 2 6800GS's because their just as fast, but cheaper than 6800GT's.

EDIT: you also should of bought an X-Fi instead of an audigy 2.
