I wouldn't be without my sound card. Sounds so much better than onboard and it was only £17! Plus it allows me to use 5.1 and have headphones attached at the same time. Onboard audio only usually has three ports so you have to swap cables. My little SB Audigy SE 7.1 is plenty good enough to sound perfect even on a 300W RMS system like mine.
Good stuff marsey, shows how well they perform!
The XMS2 is premium grade RAM, just make sure you get low timings.

that and EAX, which are both features my £17 card has. To be fair the software's pretty dire on Creative cards, but nonetheless, it proves you can get a fairly decent card for very little above integrated.

@herrick
this is the place for this kind of stuff. looking at your sig you should get a nice oc as they are all quality componants. an exact figure is hard to predict, but anything from 10% to 25% will be possible.

You can do, but seriously for games and such I see no advantage to one of those over a card like mine. Only in apps like FLStudio can I see that much CPU and RAM on a sound card being necessary.

herrick,
This is the cooler for all my AMD socket 939 builds!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185125
It's on sale too for $17! I may pick up a couple for future at that price!

Happy Computering,

I think hotmail has a 10MB limit on attached files. Try a multipart archive in WinRAR.
If someone doesn't have winrar:

I have WinRAR but all I've ever done is uncompress files with it. I'll have to figure out how to do it. I was able to figure out how to compress it but it doesn't compress very well to begin with. Any hints on how to do it??

Hey Sam,
I finally got another customer build! How's this sound? Cooler Master Cavalier CAV3 case, Asus A8N VM MB, A64 4000+, Arctic Freezer 64, 1GB PNY Optima PC3200, Seagate Barracuda 160 S-ata, Asus 16x DVD Rom, NEC 18x DVD Burner with an Ultra 500 Watt PS. Cost was $524.36, including tax and shipping! I bought Silver drives to match the silver of the case. I'm gonna have to chain it down as she is used to a 1.4 Celeron in a 5 year old e-Machine! It won't be OC'd, but I'm going to fool around with it abit and see what it will do! I also ordered me a Seagate Barracuda 160 3.0 S-ata drive for my D-940 and some more memory for my buddy for the Prescott!

Happy Computering,
theone

A 4000+? Last count I thought Dual cores were cheaper than that... Maybe I'm wrong, but if an X2 3800+ would be cheaper, I'd go with one of those...
other than that looks fine.
With WinRAR, add to archive, then on the bottom left "split to volumes, bytes" and set the number of bytes you want each part to use. For emails I often use 5,000,000.

At $99 for the 4000+ (OEM) and no socket 939 x2 3800+ to be found anywhere for less than $139, and still having to buy The Freezer 64, I took this route. It's a home/office machine and won't be overclocked, so I thought the 4000+ would fit the bill nicely. If I switched to AM2 then everything would wind up being more expensive. It's going to be used mostly for Word processing, spreadsheets and Quickbooks. Since these are all single threaded apps, it really doesn't gain very much with the x2 3800+!

Here's the cheapest price I could find for the 185!
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...3653&CatId=2040

$349 is even tempting me! Especially since there's no sales tax!
