Hey everyone, im going to be upgrading my aging system, and I was just wondering whether or not these parts(specifically ram) will be compatible.

* BIOSTAR TForce 6100 AM2 Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX

* OCZ Gold Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit System Memory

* AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans 2000MHz HT Socket AM2 Processor

* eVGA 256-P2-N554-AX Geforce 7600GT KO 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card

Should I go with DDR2 800 instead of 667? Ive heard of some problems regarding 800 with single core cpu's.

Thanks in advance,

-edit- Also, I have a 300 watt psu in my old rig that runs a 6600GT, 1800 xp, cd rom , and 1 hardrive. Should this system pull about the same wattage? hence, the 7600 GT wants a 350, but so did the 6600 GT.
 
300W should be fine if all you're running is whatever was listed in your original post. If you have issues, upgrade to something more powerful... but I doubt you'll have any trouble with only one HD, CDRom, 3500+, and a 76GT. However, with these low CPU prices, I'd recommend making the jump to the 3800+ X2 instead for only $60 more (and the 300W will still be fine).
 
Yep, thats all im running. Unfortuntly, I do not have enough need/money at this moment to switch to dual core. I will however upgrade this computer to quad core when they are released. Until then I will be overclocking this system "to the max!" so it should be able to play the latest games respectively at 1280*1024 for awhile.

Thanks for the feedback
