My $350 budget upgrade!

[TorxT3D]

BARTON 2600+ (FREE)
NF7-S V2.0 ABIT ATX ($79.50)
ENERMAX SP|420W ($68.00)
CORSAIR XMS 3200 512MB 2-3-3-6 1T ($100.25)
ARCTIC SILVER5 ($11.98)
THERMALTAKE VOLCANO-12 ($31.99)

Subtotal:$291.72
TAX:$26.98
OVERNIGHT Shipping and Handling Charge**:$29.56
Total:$348.26

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.

RAM is good, it even gives you decent overhead if you with to overclock...

everything else looks good to me

AIW 9800 pro should do the job in both performance and price.

Pingspike...MichaelD quote contends that burning the fatman would rid the world of the stench of fatness. Wouldn't the stench be moderately overwhelming should said fatman be ignited?
