Hi everyone.
I'm currently running:
P4 2.0ghz 400mhz fsb @ (2.6 w/ 533fsb).
768mb ram (1x512mb 266mhz and 1x 256mb at 333mhz). @ 333mhz
Asus P4S533 mobo
1x Seagate 120gb system drive
2x 80gig Seagate drives in RAID (Stripping, for 160gb video storage).
ATI all-in-wonder 7500
ATI 32mb PCI card (for dual monitor)
2xProview 17" LCD monitors
Pionner A05 4x DVD-RW
LG DVD-Rom
SoundBlaster Live 5.1
Adaptec firewire 1394 card
WinXp Pro w/ Sp1
I'm looking to spend around 700$ canadian for a new mobo/processor.
I'm pretty much sure I'll be getting a 2.6c or maybe 2.8c..... not too sure yet.
I hope to do some decent over-clocking. But i'm still pretty much a newbie.
I do alot of video editing and rendering, so I'm sure HT will help with that.
I'm looking at the ASUS P4C800-deluxe. I have a couple of questions though..
1) what's up with "dual-channel ECC DDR 400 memory"... do you have to use ECC memory with this board?
2) WIll i have to get new memory? ... I have a 512mb stick of 266mhz and a 256mb stick of 333mhz ram.. I doubt i could use this in dual chanel mode. Should I get two sticks of 512mb 400mhz ddr.. is it worth the extra money just for dual chanel. ram..
I guess i could sell my old ram.....
what do you guys think? ..
Thanks
