I am running XP-Pro w/ auto update enabled. Every 5 years or so I feel a need
to get bigger, faster, and arguably better hardware. Tinkering with my home
computer is a hobby of sorts. I want to be able to play DVD's and movies from
my HD as well as having a machine that will work well for other home uses and
light business applications. I also want to be able to run Vista, but not
until after all of the rest of you on the List have figured out all the bugs
and problems. I don't want to do this again for another 5 years or so. My
plan is to pull my HD's and CD-DVD drives and pop them into a new box.
Here's what I'm thinking of about, and would appreciate any thoughts. This is
part of a package from Tiger Direct but these components are also available
from a local over the counter seller who will assemble for the cost of labor.
I tried doing some research and realized I was overwhelmed by the choices in
MB/CPU/RAM products and decided to start with a package and go from there.
Abit AX8 Via Socket 939 ATX MB
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz socket 939 Processor
Corsair Dual Channel 1024MB PC3200 DDR Memory (2 x 512MB)
550 Watt ATX 120mm Fan Modular Power Supply
As is always the case, List members' time and thoughts are greatly appreciated.
