A8N System Opionon

[Kevin Mayer]

Greetings,

I'm planning on building the following system. Does anyone see any
problems with the selections? Anything I should do differently? Thanks
for any guidance. Everything beneath the --- line is stuff I have
currently and wish to re-use in the new system.

AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 (939)
Heatsink Fan: Thermaltake A1838 AMD Opteron/Athlon 64 H

BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC 256MB GDDR3/PCI-E/TV-Out/Dual-DVI

Looks good to me, though you need to be aware that Athlon 64 / A*N-SLi uses
NON_REGISTERED Memory.

Thanks. I'll make sure I ask for non registered memory.
