February 11, 200323 yr Well, I've been thinking about getting some new internals for my computer, and made a preliminary list of stuff I might get...* CPU: Athlon K7 XP 2400+ Thoroughbred* MoBo: ASUS A7V333 RAID VIA ARU2F KT 333* memory: 512 MB PC333 DDRAM* CPU cooler: Cooler Master HHC-L61 Silent Heat PipeI might also need to get a stronger power supply, I guess - but could I take any power supply, as far as external dimensions are concerned?Note that cost is a factor for me, which is why I would not want to spend more than about
February 11, 200323 yr good choice in parts, your videoc ard will be the bottleneck afterwards for sure
February 11, 200323 yr This I am aware of :-) ...what I meant to say is that I will be looking for a video card later this year, so that I'll be able to save some money until then.
February 12, 200323 yr Hi Dominik,Your specs look good, though I would not chose the VIA chipset board. The nVidia nForce2 boards are better in every way... stability, speed, upgradability, overclocking.Good luck,
February 12, 200323 yr You are not taking full advantage of the AMD XP unless you get a motherboard with an nForce2 chipset. Here's a nice roundup of the choices:http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1759I have the Abit N7, FWIW.-Basil
