[akaivan]

Heres two things i think are the best for there prices and ratings. Th reason i need the mobo is because i think my old 1 is burnt out because it wont reset the cmos jumper corectly and it restarts when i try to change the screen res. And besides it cant run my new ram i got for it.. And i need a new psu So it can take my new upgrade for the new ram, mobo. and another video card i got sittin around.. My current power supply isonly 245 watt.lol.. HErES THE links

[zephead]

what is your current setup?

i'd stay away from those jetway boards, though. i reccomend a name brand product such as asus or gigabyte.

 

[akaivan]

umm you can look in my profile. jetway is a name brand i think , lol they have good ratings

 

[CrossFire851]

I go with this name brand board for the same price

and the PSU is great for your setup.

Mobo And Psu

Well, lets see i'm 15 years old, but i do know what i'm talking about when it comes to computers. My current setup is in my sig. I suggest you go with an ASUS P4C800-E DELUXE, they are amazing overclockers. I'd slap on a 3.2 or 3.4 if you are lucky you can get a 3.4 ghz 478 Prescott CPU. When it comes to a PSU it is very important. Actually i used to have exactly a Thermaltake 430watt powersupply and it burned out after 2 months. I suggest you got with OCZ the Powerstream line, or the Antec TruPower 480w. You can also get a cheaper one but make sure the +12volt rail has at least 20amps. Mine is an OCZ Powerstream 600w with two 12v rails, totaling 35amps. Do not go lower than 20amps, because you risk damaging your cpu or video card.
Video card if you want, i suggest getting a geforce 7800 gs for gaming. CHEERS :grinthumb

 

[Tedster]

personally I don't recommend Asus at all. I've had bad experience with them and they're very picky in general about what components they'll use like RAM.

I have owned two MSI boards and both were excellent.

 

[akaivan]

ok since Tedster and crossfire both like the msi board. Ill go with that.. ANd THe psu has great ratings and has a rebate so ill go with that.. ANy other suggestions? Hopefully ill order tonight. And ll tell yall when i get it.

1 more question, will my cpu work with the mobo?

intel p4
northwood
socket 478
2.4 ghz

If you need more info on my cpu tell me i got cpu-z

 

[DonNagual]

For that board, MSI's website says:

• Supports Intel® Pentium 4 / Prescott (Socket 478) processor.
• FSB@800/533MHz
• Supports Intel P4 Prescott CPU up to 3.4GHz above, and intel P4 Prescott Celeron CPU

SO it wouldnt support mine? MY NORTHWOOD?!? Please, im not so good at this lol..

 

[DonNagual]

It looks like there are 4 different Pentium4 2.4Ghz Northwood socket 478 cpus.

There is a 400Mhz, a 533Mhz and a 800Mhz version. Which one is yours?

 

[akaivan]

I think it said both the 400 and 533 like 400/533. Can that be possible?

 

[DonNagual]

What is your FSB set at now?

 

[akaivan]

at 400 mhz, running at 1.8 ghz so i can run my new ram.. My new ram is incompatible with my mobo but it rus fine if i set it to 1.8

 

[EvilFallenAngel]

MSI boards do rock including video cards. I currently have MSI Diamond Plus and MSI 7800GT great.

 

[NFSFAN]

yeah go with MSI, don't worry i did some research the board supports ur cpu

What do yall think

 

[wolfram]

You could upgrade your video card later. If wanna go really cheap, this one should be better:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143058

It`s still a 64 bit card, but should be better than your 9200. Anyway, the best option would be an AGP card or PCI-E one.
Does your mobo have one of these slots?

 

[akaivan]

yea maybe, after i sell my current pci card..
