I was given a new barton 2600+ from a freind, i was gonna buy it for $50, but he ended up graciously giving it to me.


I just noticed that the cpu is 333fsb. The ram i bought is 400mhz. Is this going to cause any problems?

I wasnt planning on spending more than $350 with overnight and taxes and it worked out great!
Im deciding now for next months upgrade for HDDs(SATA), CD/DVD-DL bruner, video card.

I didnt wanna waste money on a new expensive a64/939/ AGP board as sli and nf4 is around the corner and will be matured mid next year in time for taxes.

I really need to figure out what video card i need to buy. My GF3ti500 is going to bottleneck my system
 
Lol. Ram no problem.

By the way : I'm selling a brand new Thermaltake Volcano 12 that I got and opened but NEVER USED. Would you be interested in it for $25 Shipped? It comes in everything included in the retail box except for the retail box itself (dad threw it away).

I decided to switch my processor and such. I might get an A64 anyway.

Btw: Get Abit Nf7-s V.1 & Antec PSU but I guess Enermax would be fine too.
