RE: new pc build time ..
well, it's built, but having trouble getting 4 sticks in it cheaply. they've got to be single sided pairs for ddr400 if you want to fill the slots.
and with only 2 sticks of 512 in it only reports 512 total in windows.
msi MS-6702E socket 939 mobo
amd 64 3000+ (came with fan .. not entirely quiet)
2 sata 160gb, one partitioned for os and apps (~20gb .. will probably stick a 40gb ide one just for this eventually)
blue storm 400w psu .. this was cheap and will probably go in another (web and games and video work) pc next month .. it is quiet .. but again not great.
oh yeah, i got the via K8T800 version of the msi board ... cheaper than the nforce3 one (ms-7025) and i've used via based boards before with no trouble ... please nobody tell me this was a bad descision
i've not installed anything on it yet apart from windows, i'll try and run some tests on it when i get the memory thing sorted.
