ok so i was on new egg…
and I’m thinking dual core amd 939 on a board that supports pci express with a gig of ram, 256MB pci-e video and a power supply
anyone want to build this for me online and find the best combo 😉
Also can i run a 32 bit OS on 64 bit architecture?
and if i end up buying your setup, ill pay pal you 5.00. and you ask, why should i care about 5.00, well thats a shake at taffy’s, thats why.
NOW START LOOKING.

More RAM
if you want to think about running 64, More RAM
Raid 5 nugga, that will really juice your system up.

if i were u, i would do some research and find out what the requirements for the new Windows (Windows Vista i think its called?0 will be. i kno some1 who got a beta copy of it, and the computer just idling (NO programs or processes running) uses 1 gig of ram for example. so i would bould your computer according to what the new Windows will require, because sooner or later u will porb want to upgrade to that.

ok… I’m building this system right now for one reason only.
to run warcrack w/o lag.
obviously it would be stupid for me to buy something that was not upgradable… thats why im going with x64 architecture and pci-e… i can always up the ram.

Fuck it I’m bored…
Since I don’t know your ability level or desire to overclock I’ll go with one of these 2 boards:
If you want overclocking options: [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152)
Or just a basic inexpensive board:
> **[GIGABYTE GA-K8N Pro-SLI 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard with 1394b -...](https://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128301)**
>
> Buy GIGABYTE GA-K8N Pro-SLI 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard with 1394b with fast shipping and top-rated customer service.Once you know, you Newegg!
So I guess we move on to the Processor:
Have to go with the Toledo core, those 1MB L2 cache is worth the extra $70:
> **[AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo Dual-Core 2.2 GHz Socket 939 ADA4400CDBOX...](https://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103546)**
>

So RAM, almost any will do, try these:

(there are slightly cheaper ones, but I have these so I happen to like them)
So video card, always my hardest decision, so one from each
From ATI:

and Nvidia:
> **[XFX GeForce 7600GT DirectX 9 PV-T73G-UDE3 256MB 128-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16...](https://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150141)**

Might want to give the Nvidia more consideration, since both of those motherboards support SLi
so power supply, needs at least 500W, so:
Yes it lights up and I know thats pretty gay but its got SATA and PCI-E and more than enough power for an SLi system:

find your own damn case.

For anti-lag reasons you’ll want to 2gigs of RAM…
I was on a 7800gt card, 64x processor and 1gig and still got the IF and SW lag pretty bad
Upgraded to a 2nd gig and bye bye lag!
