Hey everybody

I'm buying a new computer next month and my parents are getting some of the parts from my current system for a new computer.

The stuff my parents are getting:
Pentium 4 2,4B Northwood
2*512 MB PC2700 CL3 RAM
120GB WD1200JB

I'm putting this into a Aopen XCube EZ65-II, since they want a SFF.

I want to be able to play all the new games on their system when I come home once in a while. Therefore I was thinking of putting a Geforce 6600gt (agp) in there.
In that regard I have a couple of questions:

1) Does any of you who have similar setups? What do you think of it?

2) Will a Geforce 6600gt fit in the mentioned barebone and is the default PSU sufficient for this kind of videocard?

3) How is the noiselevel in this specific barebone?

Best regards
John
 
id recommend a 3.0 ghz northwood and some pc 3200 ram for that thing if ya wanna be able to play games faster ^_^
 
Going from 2.4 to 3.0 won't gain you THAT much on that system, the 6600 is hardly CPu limited at that level.

I've got a 2.4/845PE and play just as well as a friends 3.0E with same video card and dual chanel 3200 in every game I own.
