Dont bother wasting your money on 2700 Corsair RAM it
isnt much faster than 2100 Crucial and the Crucial is
a lot cheaper.

Overclockers.co.uk<BR>
<BR>
Abit KRA7 (with or without raid - I use scsi so I
didn't bother with it)<BR>
Athlon XP 1500+<BR>
2x 256Mb (but to be honest 1x256 will be fine unless
your editing big<BR>
DVI movies) Corsair 2700 DDR Ram<BR>
Alpha cooler (the first one on the page - the YS fan
will be fine) don't<BR>
forget the thermal compound!<BR>
Go for any of the Geforce based cards - driver support
is second to none<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Run the whole thing with a bus speed of 166MHz and it
will fly faster<BR>
than anything available off the shelf.<BR>
<BR>
By the time you get to put it together I'll have
already done mine so<BR>
will be able to help you with the best bios settings

I want to build my own PC, mainly because I've got a
few bits lying<BR>
around that<BR>
can be reused (DVD, CD, NIC etc) that won't compromise
the speed of my<BR>
new PC.<BR>
I'm not as technical as most of you, so is there a
good site that help<BR>
me choose<BR>
which motherboard, processor &amp; PSU??&nbsp; I've
already got about 120GB of HD<BR>
to go<BR>
in there (2 x 60), and 512mb of PC133 RAM, but
presumably if I want<BR>
quick then I<BR>
should go for DDR RAM instead?&nbsp; My rough spec
is:<BR>
<BR>
Coolermaster case<BR>
Athlon XP (or something equally as quick)<BR>
SB Platinum<BR>
graphics card (don't play games, so not too bothered
about this, but<BR>
would need<BR>
one with a DVI output)<BR>
512MB RAM<BR>
DVD &amp; CD-R plus all the usual other bits<BR>
<BR>
Basically I'd want something quick by current
standards, and easily<BR>
upgradeable.<BR>
I nearly went shopping at Scan Today last night, but
reminded myself of<BR>
my last<BR>
experience with them and managed to resist.&nbsp;
Might still try to get the<BR>
CM case<BR>
>from
<BR>
Any recommendations? (or should I just buy a pre-built
one?<BR>
www.bestpricecomputers.co.uk have some good
systems)<BR>
<BR>
Ta, Pete<BR>
