Yeah, that CD will work, but why not spend the extra $12 and get a DVD burner?
I don't think I have room for it in the case. Also, I don't want to spend anymore than neccesary!
It looks to be a good mobo : http://www.anandtech.com/textdoc.aspx?i=2797&p=9
Btw how much was the ram you found for cheap? I will keep my eyes open and see if i find ddr2 800 @ the same price, which would make future upgrades easier/cheaper.

with that and the asus 975 mobo you would be setup perfect if u decide to upgrade to core duo2 in the future.

the L2-cache of the P4 [im usin a P4 560 HT-Tech @3,6GHZ; quite good] is bigger, i personally would prefer intel...Daysniper wrote:
Is this a better CPU than the Pentium 4 HT:

if you need it, my x800xl is for sale. on most benchmarks, this card is pretty much equal to the x1600xt. let me know if you're interested. i'm running bf2 on full high and 1280x1024. the only time it drops under 20fps is when you're looking down from certain rooftops on oman, surge, or harvest. 5813 in 3dmark05.

You DO realize that a DVD burner will also burn cd's right? I strongly suggest you spend the few extra bucks on a DVD burner.Daysniper wrote:

your CD-rom connects to your HD like "Slave" the HD "Master" then the one end goes into the mobo and i got a mobo that goes both ways for $94 PCI-E and AGP 6 or 8 x so yeah.
and if you want a good mobo go here and check there products....
They already have Conroe support...
