AMD Athlon64 "Winchester" 90nm 3200+ 2000MHz/2.0GHz 512kb Boxed (with cpu-cooler!) Socket939

A-DATA 2x512Mb (tot. 1024Mb/1Gb) Dual DDR-DIMM PC3200 400MHz 184pin

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 6Y160M0 160Gb 7200rpm 8Mb cache S-ATA

Asus A8N-SLI nForce4 SLI 4DDR-DIMM 3PCI 2PCIe SATA Audio GB-LAN Socket939 ATX

Leadtek WinFast PX6600 GT TDH Extreme GeForce 6600GT 128Mb DDR3 TV-out DVI
SLI-ready RETAIL PCI Express

Well you chose 'em matey, you must have had some idea

Yeah, cool setup, all looks good to me, although I would have gone for a DFI board meself.

And I never heard of A-DATA RAM, though I guess it must be working OK.

Does it perform well?

That, after all, is the proof of the pudding, so they say.

You happy with it?

I think I would be

Yes, the DFI board has sli - and just about everything else - but it's expensive. Real good board though.

And as for RAM - at least buy Crucial, direct from their UK site or look at Corsair; OCZ; Kingston or maybe Geil.

Exclamation

"A-Data" RAM = Cheap NO-name memory


Choose any of the RAM Flopps mentioned.
