    need more RAM

    No you do not have to get the same brand of ram or model. however, if the cas latency's on this chips are 2 or 2.5 and you buy some 3.0 the motherboard will effectively make them all 3.0... on another note there is no proven performance beyond 2Gb of ram and if you buy another 2 sticks of 512...

    Do I want an Opteron if I can't find a regular 939 x2?

    stay with your Socket 939 setup. because if you decide to go with an AM2 or C2D you will also need to invest in Ram. i recommend a Denmark 170 (165 are cool) with a 170 you get the 10 multiplyer. i have one OC'ed to 2.5 (2.0 is stock). and is easily OC'ed past 2.5 but i'm happy with it. i...

    What brand of Cases are good for budget novice builders?

    a friend of mine has the samuri from raidmax (i believe) and its a solid case. you can even sit on it and it wont flinched (observe the 300lb limit please). the cooling could be better but he does pretty good with it. He is running a Socket 940 board from TYAN which is an extended ATX board...

    Will a Zalman CNPS9500 HSF Fit in an Antec Super Lanboy Case?

    However i have an asus board in it and not the gigabyte, sorry about that. different boards different spacing. Good Luck you should do fine! stick with the 9500 as the 9700 only makes a 2 degree difference at most.
