    Post How's this upgrade look?

    Ok I think I'm done looking around Newegg and got a setup I like. I will be upgrading from a P2 400mhz, 256mb sdram system. Those are the two main things that I needed to upgrade seeing I have a Geforce3, brand new hd, etc for everything else... Here's what I'm looking to get:

    Buying the AMD chip and that Asus board togethor give a $20 discount when you go farther on in the checkout so really only $479.44. Everything look ok?

    looks great to me . it shouldn't give your problems, but from time to time different sized sticks of ram can cause some problems. it's quite rare though anr really shouldn't be a problem with quality ram like crucial, but it is food for thought
