Ah, nevermind it.

Here's the beast: (A little distorted, I enlarged it so you could see.

She's got 8 USB Ports in the back, and 2 fire wire!

I don't know, don't really care to be honest. I think it's like, 5200 MT/s.

Well you should care considering it affects the speed of your computer

EDIT: MT/s?

I really don't know..lol

Motherboard arrived in the mail today, everyone!

I can't wait to start using it as a PC...

Firestar · « **Reply #206 on:** January 23, 2010, 17:21:29 »

Alright, everyone, more news:

- Processor will be purchased by the end of the weekend
- Power Supply is being updated to 700 Watt

Which will leave me at 2 parts..

Master Captain · « **Reply #207 on:** January 24, 2010, 00:49:44 »

need more than just 2 more parts besides processor and power supply. You'll still need ram, a case, hard drive among other things. And be careful with the motherboard as the components can be easily damaged by electrical shock from you, even if you dont feel it. I HIGHLY reccomend getting an anti static wrist strap before you begin your build.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #208 on:** January 24, 2010, 02:01:52 »

Keane's right...you clip it onto the case so it has the same static level so you don't shock any of the components. I'd recommend working on a table thats not on carpet if possible.

I realize you need more than two parts.. I know what I'm doing you know, I've built them before.

You have? You were asking for alot of advise in the beginning of the topic

Firestar · « **Reply #211 on:** January 24, 2010, 16:07:22 »

That was...

Before

Firestar · « **Reply #212 on:** February 22, 2010, 21:54:24 »

Alright, today I purchased...PART NUMBER 2!!

3.0 GHz AM3 Dual Core Processor!

This leaves me with:

AM3 Motherboard
3.0 GHz Processor
400GB HDD
and CD Drive

Also, Matt, FSB doesn't really exist on the same sense on my motherboard, it's all the same for AMD processors. ^{(Don't let this turn into an AMD - Intel flame war, I've made it VERY clear in this topic why I chose AMD, I don't want anyone else asking "Why not Intel?")}

Nearly there!

Firestar · « **Reply #214 on:** February 22, 2010, 21:58:36 »

Yeah, I edited btw so you might want to reread. All I need is RAM, a PSU, and a graphics card. I reckon I'll just barely be able to scrape up enough money by April.

Every computer has a Front Side Bus Speed, AMD or Intel, it doesn't make a difference the FSB Speed is the bus that carries information between the northbridge and the CPU

aelcu17 · « **Reply #216 on:** February 23, 2010, 04:09:33 »

you should go to walmart.com or amazon.com and look there might be a cheap one

I know this Matt, it's standard knowledge, but all AMD motherboards have the same FSB, it's built INTO the processor.

Yeah, well, none of those websites are as cheap as Newegg. I've never found such good deals before. Thanks for the recommendation though.

Master Captain · « **Reply #218 on:** February 23, 2010, 04:21:59 »

i wouldn't reccomend walmart. best site that i've come across is www.newegg.com tons of good parts and they're cheap

Odd because when I looked at them they were all different $:-\$
