Yeah, I've already got a much better of what I want, and I've been checking as you all were posting, I just wanted to post a thank you to you in case I forgot.

I almost wish that second link combo didn't have a hard drive, as I have hard drives coming out of my ears right now... but I really like that one. It doesn't have an integrated video, but that just means that down the road I can upgrade it easier. Thanks a ton, I've been checking the...

@bito I thought the AMD motherboards were compatible with the older DDR2 memory. It's DDR 266 (2100) memory, and I believe it's either Crucial or Kingston since that's really all I bought back then. I had 4 gigs in my old P4 setup (of which 3.535GB was seen by the bios. 2GB went to my parent's...

Thanks a ton for all of your help and suggestions, I really appreciate it. Now, from the top: @Danny yeah I think I'll have to pick up a cheap mATX case for this. I was doing a little digging online and that particular model didn't use a standard ATX setup, so a mATX motherboard probably...

I haven't gotten to the for sale/trade section yet, but thanks for the suggestion, I'll hit that up and see what's there. I just built a replacement for my main system not too long ago, and I'm really happy with it, and in doing my research, I saw some really cheap options available, but I don't...

I am contemplating building a micro form factor computer for my step-son. He has XP pro running on a Dell GX240 that I have 1GB DDR memory (max) and a 1.8Ghz P4 (2.0Ghz is max so it's not worth upgrading the proc), and an Jaton nVidia GeForce FX5200 video card I bought for it when I got it from...

Cool cool, thanks for the clarification. I am replacing a couple Crucial XMS3 chips that I bought, and apparently they are 1.65v and they keep blue screening my computer when I try to run both at the same time. Very annoying, but I'm saving money by picking up these, so I guess that's a good thing.

I didn't know since the ripjaws say they are designed for P67 boards, while the others list compatibility with P55 boards which is what I have. Cool thanks.

I need 1.5v ram for my ASUS P7P55D-E LX motherboard. Will this ram work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231426 or should I just stick with this ram? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231422&cm_re=g.skill_8gb-_-20-231-422-_-Product

Still intel procs.

Wow. http://www.tuaw.com/2011/02/01/intel-recalls-sandy-bridge-may-affect-future-macs?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_engadget

Yeah sorry, the LX board like what he got, I guess I left off the LX when I copy/pasted the board he picked when I replied to him.

@E4g1e Yeah I noticed the lack of 6GB/s SATAs and USB 3.0 ports on the intel boards, I was really surprised by that. @4LC4PON3 I'm gonna go with the i5-760 and that ASUS P7P55D-E board. The only differences I can see between that board and the PRO version of it is the PRO has crossfire (8x/8x)...

Just out of curiosity, why aren't the Intel motherboards ever suggested? I see a lot of them that have some pretty nice specs, for pretty much the same price point as ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc. Posted via Mobile Device

@Danny turbo boost and OC seemed to be used interchangeably on the Intel side, so I just assumed it was the same on the AMD side. And doesn't any board that has 2 16x slots pretty much support crossfire? Or does it specifically have to state that the motherboard supports crossfire?
