After about a year of reading (and some posting) on this forum, I am proud to say that you have all convinced me to forget Alienware. I am going to build my own pc. You have all helped me gain confidence, even though I still feel somewhat scared, and hope that you can help me out. I have no idea about the motherboard, but I need one with hyper-threading (if that is even an option when it comes to motherboards). I just choose the same one that alienware has and voodoo hoping taht it is good, but the reviews make no sense to me. I don’t know where to get the ram, but I want 521mb of pc-1066. All I have found on new egg is non-error correcting ram. Does this mean that you can’t get ECC pc-1066? Also, this is the complete list of what I will order. I have a really weird feeling that I need to order cables, screws, thermal paste, and even a heatsink. Please help me figure out which one is best. Specific models would really help, I am being overwhelmed my jargon. I am set on Intel right now so please no comments that I should change.. information please, not a flame war. Thank you so much!
