Is this a good combo?
GIGABYTE GA-K8NSC-939 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb ATX AMD
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939
With this power supply-
SPARKLE FSP530-60GNA ATX12V 530W Power Supply 95~132/ 190~264V AC, Manual-select UL 1950, CSA C22.2 Level3, IEC 950, TUV 60950
And this ram-
CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel Kit
Doing some upgrading from a P4 1.8 with RDRAM :haha:. The memory is going bad and buying more RDRAM isn't all that less expensive than buying all this stuff. Actually more expensive to buy the ram if you're going through Dell!
This is the cheaper mobo solution-
RREFURBISHED: MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM ATX AMD Motherboard
But it is refurbished and I don't know if that is a good idea or not when it comes to important parts like the mobo. It just ships "barebones" whatever that means.
Thanks for your help, this is the best site on earth! I read it all the time.
