Looking for New Build Advice/Help?

Calculations: Not quite sure what this means, but I would like to know more. Overclocking: Is it safe to without damaging the system or hardware? Storage: Music, Video, Documents for work. Legacy Support: No. Operating System: Windows XP, but is Vista better? Case: Yes. I have no idea what size though. Accessories: No. Recycled Components: None. Monitor: No. Stores: None that I prefer. Location: USA Like I said, I don't have much experience with this, so I could definiately use the help. Thanks ahead of time. |

Re: Looking for New Build Advice/Help?
since you have XP pro 2gig of ram should be all you need if your not doing intense image or video editing with the newer Adobe CS3/4 software then a faster dual core is better for gaming and standard office apps won't barely use the second core. So have a look over this you may want to change the case out to meet your taste/style or add a card reader?

Re: Looking for New Build Advice/Help?
That's all there is the cables for the drives come with the motherboard, It's not hard to assemble you'll need a couple of screwdrivers and maybe a magnifying glass to read the small print on the motherboard. See this for an idea of how to do it. > http://techreport.com/articles.x/13671
