Redwolf Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Should work fine for CM, however: unless you know what you do, make sure you get a "Northwood" Pentium-4, not a "Prescott" one. Both are available in 3.06 GHz for that mainboard. The graphics card is very slow, about GeForce 4 class. There is no way it is goign to make use of 256 MB RAM. It will be perfectly fine for CM and 2D but if you want more 3D game bang for the bug you should look into other NVidia cards. 1 GB RAM is more than you need. If you want the speed advantage of dual-channel be sure you have it in two modules. I banned WD harddrives from my systems although not for entirely rational reasons. I only use Seagate these days, with Fujitsu and Sumsung untried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Canuck Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I recently upgraded to "exactly" what you have except for the WD HD and the vid card and all runs perfectly. I had the WD 80JB for over a year prior to the upgrade and have never had a problem with it. For the video card I went with a Nvdia 6600 GT which I got from Tiger Direct for $265.00Cdn after rebates. Good card so far. One thing, make sure you've got a good power supply with some extra headroom. KC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I have had the WD 80 over a year. Make sure you get the 8mb buffer they also sell a 2mb buffer. IDE I assume. Newegg has the 2mb 1 year 54.65 8mb 3 year 58.00 USD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Canuck Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yup, definately the 8mb buffer! KC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 If you are building your own, the oem HDD is fine. I bought round cables so I didn't need the ones that come with the retail version. Someone may know better but don't go longer than 18" on cables IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
