Scratch the cooler its not compatible with my card.

Memory isn't the greatest. Something by Corsair, OCZ, Kingston, Geil are the only ones i would suggest.

The Super Lanboy is a very cheaply built case, and i speak from experience. It is so light an thin I could pick it up with a finger. The window bulged out a lot within no time. And it dinged and scrated WAY to easy. The only case by antec I'd actually suggest is the P180.

I'm about to sell my A64 3500+ Winchester for $150 if you're interested

Thanks for the response tulowcakefatlume.

This system is already put together, Seems decent, and Im really just trying to get up from underneath my 50$ weekly bill for my current Dell. I will definately be on the lookout for sales on memory.

I dont really mind the flimsy case, itll be up off the ground and be a permanate fixture on my desk but I will take the flimsyness into consideration when ever I work in or move it.

Heh thanks Drakon but this computer may set me back a bit until taxes come in

It all depends on the chip and I never oc'ed mine. I think when the Winnies were out they could hit 2.4 - 2.6.

soloz2 · Jan 24, 2006, 01:22 AM

the winnies will prob get to 2.6 max... the venice will do about 2.7-2.8 on air

Randomletters · Jan 24, 2006, 01:55 AM

appearently shes gotten it to 2.6ghz stable usiing the power supply in the rig, Antec Neopower 480 I should be able to hit the same Using my Aspire 520w

Randomletters · Jan 28, 2006, 03:52 PM

edited to show what im going with now the motherboard and case have been ordered, Im pondering waiting another week and getting a Pentium D

Randomletters · Feb 5, 2006, 03:40 PM

everything except for the extra ram has been ordered

should be back on my own computer in a few days. Feels good to be on one now, currently using my sisters thinkpad. PSP is definately not a good web browsing replacement lol. Id like to purchase this laptop too but my moneys all gone for a couple weeks, good deal too.

I only have this for a few hours so I have to browse all the forums to see what ive mssed and ive got porn to catch up on, See you all in a few days.

Bah my stuff sat in a warehouse all day today a few citys over. Sure is nice knowing it should of been here today and it isnt. Picked up a wireless Mouse/keyboard combo at bestbuy, I forgot to order them from newegg and Bestbuy had it on sale.

Ordered the extra 512mb Ram as well, Horray for tax checks.

Currently posting from an AMD K6-2 500mhz with a dying HD and cpu fan.

Fun fun.

Up and running

Currently CPU idle temp is around 54c but sometimes shoots up to 71 ive read the 630s are a bit hot, but is this too hot? Eventually ill pick up a better cooler but not until i feel like overclocking. Now time to sell the 6800 and buy a 7800 heh
