Hi all...

I am about to make a system for a freind... Has anyone had experience with geil golden dragon memory on a 865 based mobo?

this is what the system is looking like at the moment...if anyone could sudgest a better graphics card for the same money and/or a 865 based board that supports ide raid (for a similar price) that would be appreciated...

This system will be a mid end mainstream system...

ANTEC PERFORMANCE II BLACK Model# SX635BII (BLACK) ATX MINI TOWER CASE w/ Antec 350W POWER SUPPLY

Lite On 52x32x52 Black Color CDRW Drive LTR-52327S - OEM

LITE-ON XJ-HD166/XJ-HD 165H 16X DVD ROM Drive BLACK- OEM4

2x GeIL Golden Dragon DDR 256MB 400MHz Model GD3200-256 Retail (2-3-3-6 1t)

ABIT IS7,Intel 865PE chipset for Socket 478 P4 ATX motherboard RETAIL

Intel Pentium 4 / 2.4CGHz 512k socket 478 Hyper Threading Technology 800 MHz FSB - RETAIL

MSI G4Ti4200-TD8X64 GeForce4 Ti4200-8X AGP 8X 64MB DDR Video Card w/TV-Out & DVI Retail

If you see any goof ups or would recomend a diffrent part for a simular price i would appreciate your sudgestion...

Has anyone run win 2k pro on a hyperthreading system? Does the performance lag compared to Xp?
