Upgrading your PC

--- Quote from: Big P on September 19, 2003, 09:20:11 AM ---Finally decided on the specs:
2600+ AMD Athlon XP (333mhz Bus)
MSI Motherboard
512mb DDR Ram 2100
New Case (3 CD ports, 3 disk ports, space for 4 HDDs etc.)
= €360.
Not too bad if I say so myself. Just need to get everything set up now. :D

LOL your supposed to buy DDR333 (PC 2700) not DDR266 (PC 2100)
now your CPU and Ram won't run in sync on the same bus speed...
and what chipset for the MSI board? nForce2? KT400?

Can't afford one now. I had to get a new motherboard to support my chip, and this one doesnt have a built in graphics card.... I bought a 128Mb DDR nVidia GeForce FX5200 for €94... I'm now completely broke. :( All the money I saved up is pretty much gone after I get my girlfriend a GHD (good hair day) for her 21st. They cost €155! Sigh!
And now? I'm using a laptop as Windows XP setup crashes at the screen it asks you to press enter. :(
