    Unbuffered memory recommends please

    So does Core 2 need high speed memory to shine? The answer is a resounding no! This is different from AMD AM2 where more expensive memory is needed to get the most out of the system. Why is PC6400, which is also running asynchronous, faster then? Because the memory speed is now that much...

    Antec Sonata;power supply Q's

    Thanks...... Given the concensus, I guess I'll give it a shot. Would a underpowerd or low wattage power supply cause any component damage? This is what really concerns me, being this is my first attempt at building a computer.

    Thanks.......I was curios as I've read others with close or similar rigs were using a 450 watt power supply. I don't do a lot of gaming, but at times have multiple programs running. Obviously, when I purchased the above Sonata [then] things were much different--again, curios with what changes...

    Antec Sonata;power supply Q's

    I purchased a Antec Sonata LS138 a couple of years ago. It has a 380 watt power supply. Will this be enough power for this rig below? Also, would there be other issues (cabling, wiring) in reference to this case, paired with these components? Appreciate the insight. * Process...
