[Morpheus]

Well I think they are very good choises

 

[rakedog]

Yeah, i debated for a long long time as to if i should get a 939 or a 754 socket

 

[Morpheus]

Well if you know what you are doing you should get the 939 but if you are a begineer you should get 754

 

[NVIDIAGAMER1]

HOLY BOINKY BOINK! That's you kind of server? Whoa. What are you planning to do with it? Run 10 servers of Battlefield 1942 at once? Geez, save some cash and downgrade to an Athlon XP. Just my opinion.

 

[Morpheus]

He could have for playing games as well I think he should stay with it.

 

[rakedog]

yeah, i'm gonna use it as a gaming computer later when i get money to buy a video card, monitor, and a nice sound card.

 

[rakedog]

Bah, i just found out that I need to get a CD drive as well. Can someone fill me on on which would work with that setup, and what i should get? I want it to play cd's and dvd's and I want to be able to burn stuff to the CD with nero

 

[alvino]
