Damn people ruining my thread - this thread was for me to gloat and brag about my new items!

With that said - I have picked my motherboard the Chaintech ZNF-150, I wanted to wait for the new Nforce 250 chipset, but they keep getting delayed and early reviews from sites don\'t really talk to pleasant for it. Will be ordering that another Seagate SATA 160 drive for my RAID 0 setup , come next week.

any os will take advantage of a 64bit cpu.. i won\'t bother goin into details.. only difference is a 64bit os takes advantage directly. kinda like the difference between a hub and switch etc.

What he means is that the OS wasn\'t built with a 64-bit cpu in mind and one wont be out until, at the earliest, 2006 that is windows based (with LH being delayed until then and all). The CPU may take advantage of it, but it\'s still really underutilized regardless. Games will take full advantage of the 64-bit processor before a windows OS will.

Exactly. While any OS will benefit frm a 64 bit cpu, it isn\'t truly tking advantage of the 64 bit instruction set and so on.

wtf?

One takes advantage directly, the other does not. Hub sends into to all machines for the response, the switch sends it directly.

With 64bit OS the cpu takes advantage directly without querying the cpu first. The memory pages all have 64 bit addressing space, instead of 2x 32bit chunks like a 32OS would use on a 64bit cpu.
The comparison was a bit vague though..

With all that said - back on topic!

I got my Plextor 708A DVD-R and Floppy Drive in today. Come next weeke, after I get paid, I\'ll be picking up another 160 gig SATA Seagate HD and my Chaintech Nforce 150 motherboard.

Just an update, I "finished" it today. I went to town , bought a CPU / RAM / VIDEOCARD / etc. It isn\'t exactly what I had planned and some things will change, but the basic machine is up and running now. I still need to pick up another 512 megs of RAM and maybe, eventually upgrade the videocard.

« **Reply #57 on:** September 26, 2004, 11:45:51 AM »

What did you land for yourself? You say you finished it with 3 parts and don\'t even name or describe them?! For shame.

Living-In-Clip · « **Reply #58 on:** September 26, 2004, 01:46:12 PM »

AMD 64 3400
9600 XT
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

The videocard is just a temp thing, I had waited so long to get this thing up and running, that I just settled for something I could afford at the moment. Haven\'t played any games yet, as I have to go to work.

What I fail to understand is that you are willing to spend good money on allot of your computer parts, yet you chimp out on one of the most important components to building a pc of that caliber.

YOUR PSU is el cheapo, I will say this for the last time, ENERMAX, ANTEC, Vantec etc.. are all mid line average PSU that are incapable of holding a stable rail that doesn’t fluctuate beyond the 1 percentile, also they are RATED INCORRECLY your antec is not a true 450W PSU. (This is what really pisses me off with these companies they sell there units under false pretenses)

take a look at this PSU, the most respected, awarded and quality PSU company in the pc business.
