Ok, after lots of advice, I have finally ordered everything for my new system.
Please give me any comments and/or suggestions.
MSI K8T Master2-FAR
2x AMD Opteron 242 1.6GHz 1MB
TWINX2048RE-3200
2x 200GB Seagate 7200.7
PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 510 XE
ATI AIW 9800PRO
Dell 2001FP 16ms response LCD!!!
I decided to only go with 242s because I want to get dual-core CPUs at the end of next year.
And I think dual 1.6s are plenty for the next year and a half.
I decided that PCI-X and PCI-E were also not going to mean enough to me to get them right now.
I'll probably get them in my next big upgrade though, hopefully at least 3yrs. away.
So, what do you think?
Am I missing anything important, or should I get anything else?
I already have a decent case, Pioneer DVR-105, and Lite-On 40x CDRW.
Everything is new except the AIW which I got from a fellow [H] member.
Thanks for all the help.
