My other computer craped out its bout 1.5 -2 years olf bought from compaq. So I decided to make a new one to kinda be cost effective. The stats are are posted nothing is bought yet they seem compatible all together but need advice on whats good and bad and what could be better. Everything is Newegg shiped
 
chances are your compaq ram is pc2100. I don't know how much that will affect performance overall but I'd make sure you know what kind of ram you are trying to put in there.
 
The ram in it is weird it says PC2700u,there isnt much info on the sticks. serial number, that PC2700u, 256Mb and 266Mhz i think i thats listed right. I'm trying to keep it around 500 but atm its at like 541. I'm also looking for a heatsink if i need one. Not overclocking yet.
 
OEM processor you'll need to buy a separate heatsink.
Retail boxed proc it'll come with a stock heatsink which is more than adequate if you're not OC'ing.
 
i have noticed its retail and it comes with cooling device. so it all should be nice. also i have order ram. typical 512 ram nothin special but compatible. I'm not to sure bout wireing. Does it come wiht it or will i be riping old stuff off my excomp. I will be getting round cableing but not atm.
 
Your Asus mobo should come with a complete set of cables. So you shuold be fine in that respect.
