Just put in my order!

[wireeater]

Well after 2 weeks of painful review reading and asking questions, I ordered it.

I want to thank the people who helped answer my questions and great advice.

Final spec of the system I ordered are:


EPOX EP-9NPA3ULTRA NF4U
AMD OPTERON 165
MEM 1Gx2|GSKL F1-3200PHU2-2GBNS
VGA EVGA GF 7800GT 256-P2-N516
HD 160G|ST 7K 8M SATA2 ST3160812AS
CPU THERM PAS|ARCTIC Ceramique

Total with shipping = $984.65

I will be reusing my 430W Truepower Antec (20pin) and SOHO II case. I should be able to run this board without a 24pin connector right?

Now it's going to be killer waiting for this to come! Hopefully it will come Monday on my day off.

I am assuming I should see QUITE a big difference in performance compared to my current setup.

AMD XP 2500+
NF7-S 2
768 PC 3200 XMS
9800Pro
2x 20gig PATA 5200rpm Maxtor drives


Again, thanks for the help!

Congrats man and nice job. You've obviously been reading up on these forums. The difference in performance will be astronomical to say the least. The current setup you have although dated, is still a decent setup. Good luck with the new build man and let us know how it goes.

That's a pretty crazy overclock on that Prescott.

Yeah it is. I can't get over how stable it is too. Here's a pic of my specs:
