Some of you may remember the thread i had about my sound card (here
My current specs are:
Motherboard - Gigabyte 8S648FX (socket type? )
CPU - Intel Pentium 4 2400 - 800FSB
RAM - Kingston 512 mB DDR333
Video Card - ATI Radeon X1300 Pro
Sound Card - Realtek AC97 Audio
Hard Drive - Seagate 80GB 7200
OS - Windows XP Professional
case - 875P-L Beige USB 2.0 ATX Tower
PSU -
PT Power supply
Model: PT-A450w
ATXP4 Power Supply Unit
I've done some research and along with some support from you guys, I came up with the following parts to buy:
512M DDR400(Kingston) $74
5.1 Audigy Value $49
OCZ 600W GameXtream $185
16x Pioneer 111D Beige oem Drive Only $45
These are australian dollars and are the prices from www.msy.com.au
Im wondering if these parts are good or not, and whether anyone else knows better products (performance/price wise) at australian stores (preferably victoria based) [Also, the DVD burner should be beige, for obvious reasons]
Also, my questions are:
Is it okay to combine DDR333 with DDR400 ? (DDR400 is cheaper)
Will I be able to use both my speakers and headset (so that makes 2 sound output channels and 1 sound imput channel)? If I cant, can anyone recommend a sound card that would allow me to use both for around the same price?
For the DVD burner, what does "oem drive only" mean? Is the DVD burner any good btw?
Thanks for the support ^^
