After failing to resolve cold-boot problems with my present system I've decided to have a go at building a new PC. I think the old mobo ( a A7A266 ) is flaky.
I'm fairly set on getting the following.
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Athlon XP 3000
DiamondMax9 120Gb SATA150 HDD
and will salvage the following from old system
1Gb Crucial PC2100 DDRAM
WD Caviar JB 80Gb ATA100 HDD
Pioneer A05 DVD-RW
Toshiba DVDROM
Floppy - Sony
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Likely I will obtain some Crucial PC3200 DDRAM sometime in near future, but does this setup look ok ? Anyone have any comments on potential flaws ?
Also, finally. With the arrival of Athlon64 and Prescotts....what future does this system have for upgrading? ( I'm thinking next to none ...)
