Yeah, I've been doing a lot of reading about that - figuring out what I
want, need, and can do without.
I guess my biggest question is that I still don't understand what to look
for when purchasing a Motherboard Chipset, as opposed to a processor. I
know that DDRAM seems to be a lot nicer than SDRAM, if you can find it.
There's a lot of stuff that I still don't understand what to look for - it
all looks like letters and number, any tips? (For instance, what's the
difference between an ECS K7S5A and a K7S6A, let alone comparing anything
across brands.) Also, what are DIMM's, and how should I judge their
importance? (For example, if I am comparing one system with 184 pin DIMM
and the other with 168 pin DIMM?)
Thanks.
