I think your mobo can only support pc 2700 or pc3200, so I think you'll need to find different ram...

If your motherboard supports DDR, then you cant install DDR2.

You go to HP.com, find the support section, type in your model number, click on product info, and then click on Motherboard Specs.

No problem, but you do realize that you cant run DDR2 memory in your motherboard right? I just wanted to be clear about it.

Indeed, for the sake of upgrading the motherboard and memory, you may as well go with a new PC.

Well not being mean or enything but go look at the computers for gameing and look at the prices there expesive and i'm not trying to spend ($1000.00) on a new computer when I have most of the good parts already set and it's only going to cost me about ($600.00) for all the stuff i'm geting and it's way more cheaper.

And to me it seems like when a company makes a computer or system for like ($600.00) they make the price at least ($400.00) more then they made it, Then there you go you have a ($1000.00) computer right there that costed them ($600.00) to make it.

Like alienwar there most expensive computer is ($5000.00) and thats is a lot of maney.

This is alist of all the stuff im getting and i'm building right from my tower I have now I was thinking about starting from scrap but I sed fuck it and just dicided to build of my old tower.

That's what he meant, build your self a new PC. He didn't say go buy a pre-assembled one.

Indeed. Using your old case may be a mistake as that lot will need good cooling. Older PCs have very little cooling and this often causes overheat problems with new build - example my old PC's chipset got to no more than 40C in its first case, then when I added components it eventually rose to 55C full load. When i changed to a normal case (5 80mm fan slots) it reduced to 39.

Since I've never heard of super talent (and that's usually a bad sign) I'd go with the Patriot Signature.
