253332 2004-07-19 22:03:00 Wilky, I am still wondering why you need a 550w PS. Or did I miss your answer??? Steve_L (763)

It is a bit excessive, but now it would go hand in hand with that power hungry Geforce card.

E-Penis +7"

Seriously though, it allows for upgrading, adding extra fans, lights, whatever. And it has 2 fans which makes it instantly cool in my books.

253336 2004-07-20 05:47:00 I still need a good socket 754 gaming motherboard though. Any suggestions? Wilky (776)
253337 2004-07-20 06:42:00 It has come to my attention that I will also need surround sound on this motherboard, complete with the ports I need to plug in these headphones.

253338 2004-07-20 07:56:00 If u want decent sound, u should get an Audigy 2 ... all onboard sound apart from Nivida's Soundstorm will not measure up to it.... and since its only $170 or so dollar ...which is not very mch comparing to what you are getting for the rest of ur hardware ...u mit as well pick one up : )


Note that, it gives u more than good sound ....but also reduces CPU load...and thus improving fps when gaming ....

So when are u going to buy all this stuff?? I ll be interested to know how it goes and see ur benches ; P

..o yeah ..when u get a A64 ..try and get a Newcastle cored rather than the Clawhammer, and if u r really into it ..u should look for a good stepping on the chip ..that will give u more overclocking potential on ur chip ; )

253339 2004-07-20 09:02:00 I'm looking for a mobo with soundstorm. I did originally have an Audigy 2, but I'm omitting that for now. Parents are touchy about anything over $5000, so if I go $50 over, it's ok, but $200 over and... :( Wilky (776)
253340 2004-07-20 10:57:00 U won't find a motherboard for an A64 system that has soundstorm I am afraid . . . it's not released yet . . . .

u should try and convince ur parent ; P

or just get a cheaper mouse and keyboard . . . .

btw, thats a very nice PSU u r getting . . . ur 6800 GT should be rock solid with it : )
