Finished my 2k4 hardware upgrades.

Case:
Antec Plus SLK 3700BQE Midtower (350W SmartPower)
<A HREF="http://www.antec-inc.com/us/pro_details_enclosure.php?ProdID=93703#" target="_new">link</A>
CPU:
P4 3.20e Prescott (Power: 103W, Thermal Spec: 73.2C)
Motherboard:
Intel D875PBZLK
Memory:
512MB PC3200CL2 400MHz CORSAIR TWIN-X (2x 512mb Sticks)
Hard Drives:
Two 120.0GB SATA-150 7200rpm #WD1200JD (8MB Cache)
DVD+-RW:
Black LiteOn LDW812
Floppy:
Black Mitsumi 1.44 Mb
Video Card:
BBA Radeon 9800 XT
Sound Card:
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Speakers:
Altec Lansing VS 4121 2 Speakers + Subwoofer
Keyboard:
Microsoft Multimedia
Mouse:
Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical USB
Monitor:
Samsung SyncMaster 173T 17" LCD
Fans:
Intel boxed heatsink fan and two Vantec Stealth 120mm fans for intake and exhaust.
OS:
Windows XP Pro SP1
Office Application:
Office 2003 Standard
AntiVirus:
Norton System Works 2004

The system is runs cool and quiet.
The only disappointment is I cannot get the Corsair Twin-X 3200CL2 to run at it's advertised timing of 2-3-3-6. I only have stability at the auto SPD setting of 3-3-3-8.
Any advice on this problem? Tried bumping up the voltage and runnng at 2.5-3-3-7 but I had no success.
Corsair advertises the memory is supposed to run at 2-3-3-6 on the Intel D875PBZ motherboard. I think they're full of $hit.

d00d that Prescott is really a bad purchase, IMO. It's worse overall than a 3.2GHZ P4, is tons hotter, and you could've saved and gotten some Athlon 64 that beats it right off.

Sometimes you have to take what the store has in stock.
I wanted a Northwood 3.20 but all they had were Prescott 3.20. I did get the Prescott for the price of the Northwood. :smile:
It's the memory I am disappointed with. I can't get the advertised clock speed.

This is only my personal opinion.
I will never buy an AMD cpu until AMD designs and makes a chipset to go with the cpu.

They do, the AMD 8000 chipset.

And what's wrong with Nvidia's or SiS' chipsets? Are you really always buying CPU company-specific chipsets only? And if so, why?

Never seen a motherboard with the AMD 8000 chipset.

I don't know

Yes

Because I want to.

I don't critize people for buying what they like. Buy what makes you happy.

They're still young. They might come around to liking biggun's.
Although I have been daydreaming about biggun's since I was 4.

I bought a new 'leet' pewter too. It shiny and I can drink beer out of it.

What more, besides big hooters, could you ask for?

Well so far so good.
I changed the power supply to an Antec 380W True Power with serial ATA power connectors.
I can run the memory at 2-3-3-6 and boot into Windows.
But the system doesn't feel stable.

I returned the Corsair XMS Twin-X PC3200 for OCZ Platinum Series PC3200 Enhanced Latency.
OCZ has a SPD setting of 2-3-3-6 and works great at stock voltage of 2.625V.
No crashes or errors. :smile:

WHAT?! Dude, that's a big lie, I love big hooters. Why the hell do u think I never pay attention in math class: I'm either sleeping or staring at this chick who sits in front and to the side of me!
