Kinda old thread, figured I'd try my luck. Interested in the striker ii extreme!

Yeah thanks, I fixed the QX6850 I'm replacing a bad asus striker extreme... It has DDR2, and it looks like the striker extreme ii has DDR3 I was trying to build rebuild an old computer, but maybe it's a pipe dream :(

I was actually going to go win7 ultimate/media center 7, and use a media center remote. right now, i'm running a p4 .... 3.2Ghz HT if I remember correctly... with winxp w/ media center. it has some crappy onboard intel video. I haven't gotten into any flash movies, it's too much of a hassle...

Hey Crim, I read your post about the single core ATOM's... What do you think about this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500030 ZOTAC IONITX-D-E Intel Atom N330 Dual Core 1.6 GHz 441 NVIDIA ION Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo - Retail It's the 330 you were talking...

bump.. any help?? for video, should I wait until the ATI 5000 drops, or just go with one of the ati4550's ... or a mobo with ati 4550 onboard?
