Screw it, I'm biting the bullet.

Forget it. I'm waiting for the nForce 4 chipset.

i'm not totally sure about this, but i think u want some non-ECC non-registered memory? the one u got is for servers or opterons or something.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

yeh socket 940 needed the registered ECC ram....socket 939 jus needs good ol plain ddr 3200

 

[effee]

non reg, and reg. the difference is minimal. 1700 would be good enough for a pretty decent if not good system

I would personally go for less on the case, (although that one is cool), i'd also wait for nForce4.

Will have options for dualie vid cards (PCI xPress). So maybe like 2 6600gt's instead of the x800 XT.

Also i might consider theGF6800gt instead of the x800.

And maybe get like 2 samsung 80gb and do RAID0, you can usually get these from COMPusa for like ~$30 ea., when they are on sale (whic his like almost everyweek).

Ah. See, I'm glad I asked.

 

[Shadax]

Bump!

Updated:

Now how is it?

Newegg order

edit: oh and i'll see about those hd's

Socket 939 CAN'T use registered. Only socket 940 which is Opterons.And NO, I would want to buy 2 $300 cards instead of one $500 one, plus waiting for months for nothing else I could use....

It's unbuffered.

Ah, I guess I;m gonna wait for nForce 4 and start over. i guess I need more research. Thanks guys!

Maybe, but it also says Registered, and you can;t use that. It won;t boot !

 

[zerodeefex]

6600 GTs are $200 each which is what he was saying to get two of (2x200=$400). The card he was saying to get INSTEAD of the x800XT is the 6800GT which is usually very overclockable to 6800 ultra speeds and is usually around $350 on sale.

Are you looking at the updated one? Not the first one I posted to begin the thread with, just a few posts up. I can't find where it says registered...

The Radeon card says quantity: zero. It won't let me remove it.

I'll wait for nForce 4 and dual the cards with two 6600gt's

Ok, for one thing, 2 660gt in SLI Would be substantially faster than 1 x800 XT, plus you could use 4 displays instead of 2 (i am almost posative aobut this). If you nwanted to spend more money you could however get as someone else said 2 6800gt oc them to Ultra speeds an throw em in SLI, that system would friggen SCREAM.

nah.

2 6800gts or ultras would but i think 2 6600 gt wud be about the same, if not slighlty slower than x800xt

 

[newParadigm]

Screaming was only infered about the Dualie 6800's not the 6600's

 

[Markfw]

I saw the memory update now, but I would go with Mushkin or Corsair, (maybe OCZ, haven;t had good luck wit them) I have never heard of PQI.
