Well, all the parts are ordered and will be coming in tomorrow and Friday. So the build is on for Friday night.

Parts List

AMD Atlhon 64 3700 Clawhammer
Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (2x512)
MSI K8N NEO Platinum
Sapphire X850XTPE
Lite-On DVD Burner 1693S
Seagate 160GB SATA
Thermaltake Crystal Orb Chipset cooler*
Coolermaster Hyper 6 Copper Heatpipe
LianLi PC-6Xb
MX Cordless Duo
Dell 2005FPW
EDIT: Antec True 430
Windows XP Pro x64
AS5
Samsung DVD
Rounded Black IDE

So what should I run on it to check for errors, break it in. Also what have I forgotten to get. I am mainly looking to break it in first, then to overclock it. Then to masturbate to it... opps did I say that out loud?
 
That was forgotten in the list, but the part does exist. If anyone could just give me the names of the programs. I will go on google and get them.
thanks.
 
i wouldnt get windows 64 pro. not enough hardware support for it yet. need 64 bit drivers for your hardware and some dont have them and if they do not working right.
 
I checked on everypart, and all have drivers, while some buggy, they do have them. So it might hinder my performance until updates but I would rather have x64 now for down the road. If all else fails I can get my hands on a unused Windows 2000.

Again, I am not looking for responses on the build, just what should I run on it to test it out.

Memtest
Super Pi
3d Mark (what year?)

And to really put a hurtin on it.... F@H
