ok guys here goes. I am about to build my first box and need a little advice. I have an AMD XP 1800, Iwill XP-333-R, 256mg of ocz pc3000, 40gig maxtor ata133, SB live x-gamer, and a new case with 400 watt PSU.
first question--Do I need to use the silver stuff to mount my HSF to the CPU, or the pad that came on the HSF?
Second question--Will the Iwill board already be set to ata133 and will the new OS I ordered automatically format and partition my HD upon successful installation?
think that is it but I will update if need be
TIA,
G8
