Building

[Frew]

Anyone know of a good AMD 64 computer building guide on the Internet?

It isn't A64-specific, but it might still be of some use to you if it's your first time building a computer: STILL the only guide that remembers the snack breaks

Which one should I follow then or does it matter?

EDIT: I mean the Pentium 4 or the XP guide in that guide.

Since the Athlon 64 uses a symmetrical heatsink like the Pentium4, and since the retail A64 heatsink latches down into a plastic frame around the CPU socket, the installation of the CPU's heatsink/fan unit is closer to the Pentium4 shown in the guide.

The rest of the guide applies to ATX-family computers in general, whether AthlonXP/Duron, Pentium4/Celeron, or Athlon64.

Thanks for the props shady06
