Thanks for the info! What power supply do you recommend that meets the high standards that you described?

Thanks for your opinions. At this point, I am leaning towards an Intel P4 3.4C 800 Mhz processor, 1 GB of Corsair MXS Extreme PC-3200PRO Low Latency DDR Ram, 2 Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drives, an ATI Radeon 9800XT 256MB AGP Video Card, a Thermaltake Xaser V Damier Case...

I want to build an extreme PC and I am considering the P4 3.2 Extreme Edition Intel processer. For about 1/2 the cost, I could get a P4 3.4 processor. Is the Extreme Edition worth the extra money? I would like to know what others have experienced or your opinions on the following: 1) To...

I want to build an extreme PC and have decided on the P4 3.2 Extreme Edition Intel processer. I would like to also incorporate at least 1 GB of Corsair XMS Extreme DDR500/PC4000PRO memory. I would like to know what others have experienced or your opinions on the following: 1) Best...

Thanks Everyone!

I recently purchased an Epox 8RDA+ motherboard for another system and it performs great. I was going to purchase another one, but noticed that all three of these Ultra 400 boards are priced about the same. I am looking at the Apen AK79D-400VN, the Gigabyte GA-7N400-L, and the MSI K7N2 Delta-L...

Thanks Everyone for your input! I think I will spend the money and get the Barton 2500+ processor.

I have purchased an Epox 8RDA+ motherboard, a 512mb stick of Corsair PC-2700C2PT (cas 2), and want to get a processor in the $50 - $90 range. I have 2 questions for you: 1) Is there a big difference in the Barton AMD Chips vs. the Throughbred? Should I save some money and buy a 2100 or 2200+...

I have an Asus P4PE/L, a 2.4Ghz P4 Northwood processor, and 512MB of PC2100 Crucial Cas 2.5 memory. I am looking into new memory and would like to purchase PC3200 or PC3500 Cas 2, but the Asus website lists the fastest memory at PC2700. Is anyone using PC3200 (DDR400) memory? If so, are there...

Thanks for everyone's questions/thoughts... The P4 2.8 is running on an Asus P4PE/R/L/S. I am using the ASUS Probe utility that comes with the motherboard to get the readings. The case temp is running between 89 & 92 degrees. On another note: I also have the same motherboard running with a...

By the way..... the system is very stable and everything is running very well and I am not doing any overclocking at this time. I simply am concerned that 60 degrees may be a little warm.

I just built a new system with the Intel 2.8Ghz processor. It runs at about 45 or 50 degrees when idling and around 60-62 when the system is working harder. I am using the standard heat sink fan that came with my retail processor package. Should I be concerned about this temp? I have a new...

Thanks to All for your insight, opinions, and such. I have considered the MSI Ultra 3 as one of my top choices. This is a 2nd computer system and I don't need it to be a real racehorse, so the Biostar M7VIG Pro also is appealing at only $60. I have a couple of questions: A - Has anyone had...
