I am going to purchase a system with this configuration and was wondering if there are any compatibility problems or issues with these components. If you have any suggestions for this system, please feel free to contribute.
CPU:
AMD ATHLON T-BIRD 1.4GHZ 256K FSB266 OEM
COOLER:
THERMALTAKE VOLCANO II SOCKET 462(A) HEATSINK&FAN Up to 1.5GHz
or
GLOBALWIN FOP32-1 SOCKETA DUAL BALL BEARING 26CFM
Looks good to me, what sound card will you be using? I recommend the Hercules Guillemot Game Theater XP. Plus a very good set of speakers to go along with it.
Oops, 300w P/S will be pushing it. Recommend a 350w plus P/S setup. This can affect stability significantly. Plus if you decide to get more performance out of it you will probably be able to go up to 1.6ghz, but you will need the power to do that.
