hows this?

[imported_nightflier2k1]

1- ASUS "P4P800-E Deluxe" i865PE Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU

2- Intel Pentium 4/ 3.0C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512KB L2 Cache, Hyper Threading Technology

3- Kingston ValueRAM Dual Channel Kit 184 Pin 1G(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200

Installed in an Antec Sonata Case.



Will I have problems with the PSU and this motherboard?

looks good if you dont want to overclock. the psu and the motherboard are fine. the antec psu is very high quality so you dont have to worry about that. can you tell us wut you plan on using this computer for? encoding? gaming? or just browsing?

 

[imported_nightflier2k1]

not going to overclock

Just getting into dvd burning so i doubt i'll be doing anything real heavy in this area. But would like to do some. Just bought a NEC 2010a

Play some games but nothing to intense.

Main use will be as a trading platform for trading stocks and other business use.

Reason i ask about the PSU is i heard some people have problems with the Antec PSU and MB compatibility.

It's an Intel :Q


Nah, seriously, that looks good, though you may want to consider an A64 3000+ if you are planning on keeping this computer for a few years, since very soon your 32-bit will be obsolete.

An A64 will beat that Pentium in most games, & they don't fall far behind in video encoding either.

i recommend the athlon 64 also, but from wut he's doing, its not a big deal.

I highly doubt that 32-bit platforms will be out of date very soon. 64-bit platforms probably only account for a maximum of 10% of pc sales (In the computer store I work in they have only accounted for ~1% of sales). Intel (who is the market leader) does not even have a 64-bit non-server based cpu close to market.
Even if the hardware were all 64-bit ready, we would still have to wait for software developers to jump onboard. There will not even be a 64-bit Windows for at least 6 months (Then a patched useable version 6 months after that. ).
Most of us have had DVD players in our systems for some time now, yet look at how there are very few DVD titles. Hell, we still use 1.44MB floppy disks ($0.35/MB) in an age of 700MB and 4700MB disks (<$0.01/MB). New technology does not alway catch on fast, especially if it requires both a hardware and software change.
AMD has certainly taken the correct route though, making their 64-bit CPU fully 32-bit compatable. Hopefully this will eat away at Intel's market share.

I guess the way i worded that comes across wrong.

I agree that 32-bit will be around for many years, but if one wants performance, &amp; the best performance one can get for many years, the A64 would be a slightly better route.

ok got this MB and it no workie....I suspect the PSU..its a brand new PSU (Antec Sonata case).

using the p4 3.0c
2 (512meg) kingston value ram pc3200 cl3
and of course the asus p4p800-e deluxe
all brand new


I had this same problem with 2 other MBs /cpu/ram combos and even tried different psu's. Im beginning to think someone "upstairs" doesnt want me to build this computer.


FWIW---placing MB on cardboard with installed ram and cpu only (attached heatsink aswell).....no fans spin up but green led on MB does light up. yes the 4 pin connector is connected.

what the heck is the problem???please help?

Are you arguing that many apps and games will have optimized A64 paths (isn't far cry like this)? Or that 32 bit stuff compiled for x86 will be better on the A64 in the long run?

no clues? pls??????
