hehe been doin some research

hey i can get a mother board and a p4 2.4ghz proccessor for $300. is that a good deal?

Well....Let's just say that you can have me one night for the same price, Lover. happy:

wait, so ur saying it's a good deal?

damn right it is! post url so I can get it hehe biggrin:

Depends on a few things: If the P4 is 400mhz FSB, or 533mhz. Default should be 533. the 533 runs for about 180, so if the board is more than 120, then no.

No, no no. . .. they overcharge about 80% of the time. 4PC is decent.

http://www.bestbuy.com it's 2 seperate items.

mother board:

proccessor:

i don't even know if they're compatible lol

yeah negative on the JDR i just checked it out....they don't really have much selection either

also when should I know to get a new HD? I am reading the reviews on Western digital HDs and some say they quit after 2 months...wtf?

board's $110 400fsb

proccessor's $250

Be VERY careful of motherboard/processor bundles. Even though you get a good processor, you can get a substandard motherboard. Check the specs, see who the brand name is. Chipset, slots, AGP, PCI, check all of these things.

Nah, that's not true either. Maybe two years. Usually a good WD drive will last 2 - 3 years before it gives you problems. Hard drives should be swapped about every year, if they are not cooled enough. Otherwise, if they ARE cooled while in use, about 1 1/2 - 2 years.

Thats the 400mhz FSB

I can get you the same board for 87.00, and the processor for 185.00

That's why I asked him, too. But it's ASUS, but it's 400mhz FSB. If he's willing to pay 300 for items that will cost him about 260, he should just go for a 533mhz FSB board & CPU

Heh, thanks for the advice, time for a new HD...too bad Western Digital dos not make one below 20 gigs. also how important is compatability of HD with processor and mobo and fans and all that jazz?

Just with the mobo. If the mobo has a ATA-66 connector, there's no need to get an ATA-100 drive, although most today are standard.

You should get a WD drive with 7200RPM, and ATA-100, ATA-133 if your mobo supports it.

I'm saving for Asus's new baby, the P4G8X (droooooooool.. . heh)

yeah the one I'm lookin at is ATA 100 WD Caviar 20 gig , what mobo would go well with that drive?

Good hard drive, I had that one.

Like I said, any ATA-100 board. I trust only Asus, but others like Abit and Tyan too.

damn I have to figure out which processor and Mobo to get at the same time oOo:

Germ, lemme know what you do, I'll get a better price for you.

I need a new ethernet card, does it have to be compatible with anything? also what do you mean by cooling the HD? and what can I do with my current HD if I get a new one...

oOo:

Do any of you know of a good motherboard that has 8xAGP and supports a pentium 4, 2 GB or higher? with an intel chipset? er i think thats what it is.

what processor?
