Hi everbody

I am about to purchase this mobo and would like confirmation that the rest of my setup is OK and any other useful comments for a newbie. A few specfic questions as well

Any problems with XP recognising the SATAII HDD. (I am proposing the SAMSUNG SpinPoint)
Is Corsair the best choice for memory
Is the cable length from the PSU OK
What cable length should I get for the SATA II lead

Here is my spec

MSI K8NGM2-FID, nForce430+GeForce 6150 m-ATX
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 90nm
ThermalRight XP-90 + Nexus 19.2 dBA 92mm Fan
Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 CAS2.5
Antec SLK3000B Midi Tower Case
Seasonic S12 Powersupply 430W
Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache
BenQ DW1655 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer LightScribe ReWriter

Many thanks

Mike:thumbsup:
 
Its fine, however I would suggest an AM2 build over a s939. Even though its the same price and performance you will be able to pick up a Rev G Brisbane later on.
