Just built a computer!!!!

Guess I'm no longer a n00b... Everything seems to be functioning surprisingly. I give thanks to anandtech for their useful guides and all the people on here that have given me advice. Install the cpu and cpu fan was EASY, but I had a heck of a time screwing the motherboard down... I kept using the wrong screws and one or two screws wouldn't screw in. I thought I was going to break something just trying to screw it in. Then I had a little trouble loading up windows. It had an error then it was saying ntldr missing. But I got it fixed and everythings seems to be working!!! I love my computer!

Congrats on your first build!

Not to be a big downer, but all the socket 754 can support is a single channel RAM configuration. I'm sure it's running great, but it is in a single channel mode. You have to go with the socket 939 for dual channel.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, I just wanted to clarify.
