Thinking about building a Duron System, What thing should I know before doing so?

[CommanderYtineres]

Is a Athlon or Thunderbird way better? What type of memory can I use? I have 258mb of SDram can I use it? Who makes the best motherboard for this chip? Any information would be useful. Thanks..

Get all your stuff at allstarshop.com

MB get MSI K7t2pro-a
just standard dimms (128 or 256) will work

Be careful when mounting the heatsink onto it. If you're building a Duron, it won't be an Althon or Thunderbird. If you don't to overclock, the ram you have now will work fine. As for motherboard, I second the MSI K7T Pro2a. mwave.com isn't a bad place either.

The motherboard is the thing you should take a look at when building a system. consider msi (pro 2 a)
