will this ram work with this mobo/cpu? psu question
The ram specs on the mobo I am fixing to buy just says "DDR2" so I really
don't know what one I should buy. Here is my list of what I am fixing to buy. RAM (guess it takes ddr2 pc2-5300--i dont know for sure) $68 http://computers.pricegrabber.com/la...13/search=DDR2 CPU $194 http://computers.pricegrabber.com/pr...Core%202%20Duo MOBO $100 http://computers.pricegrabber.com/mo...ds/m/24358005/ Also, will this psu support at least 3 ide devices? All I see about it is sata, which I surely need. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=10006757 |

I would suggest you go for some 667 speed stuff instead of the 533 you have chosen, but the RAM you have listed is OK for that board. You have 4 slots available, so filling 2 of them as you have planned is OK, but your maximum RAM configuration without throwing any away would be 10GB. How long are you planning to run this PC? Highly unlikely that this limit would be a problem! |

All I see about it is sata, which I surely need. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=10006757 For Asus motherboards, you can actually download the manual and have a look. Check the section on memory, and see if there are any hints. Some of the manuals are better than others, at answering pre-sales questions. http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us When you go to an individual product page, there can be a "QVL" or qualified vendor list of memories. The first link here, is a list of all the motherboards, while the second link is for P5NSLI. Clicking the QVL link on the second page, shows qualified RAM at DDR2-533 and DDR2-667. The 667 == PC2-5300. http://www.asus.com/products2.aspx?l1=3&l2=-1 http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...&mo delmenu=1 Your CPU is FSB1333. Your motherboard goes up to FSB1066. So in fact, your choice of CPU and motherboard don't mesh properly. Find another motherboard or find another CPU. The CPU Support page is here. You can actually view results by a specific processor, such as your E6750, and see what motherboards support it. http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...Language=en-us The page for P5N-SLI is here. If you could find an older E6700, that would work, but it might be more expensive. If you still want the E6750, then look for another board. http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...Language=en-us These are the power supply specs for CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX ATX12V V2.2 550W That supply will not only run your three IDE drives, it will also start your car in the morning :-) I much prefer to get this info off a label on the side of the supply, but so far I don't see that kind of label on this unit. ,+5VSB@3A http://www.jonnyguru.com/PSU/VX550W/Dscn3257.jpg There is enough 12V current there, for an 8800GTX if you want. The supply has a 2x3 PCI Express power and a 2x4 (splittable) PCI Express power, so in fact the supply even has the connectors to connect to an 8800GTX. A review for the power supply is here. It is built by ChannelWell (CWT), and they make supplies for Antec as well. That means, when you get it, it'll smell a bit (chemical smell). http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=135 Paul |

will this ram work with this mobo/cpu? psu question
Thanks alot guys. But what's it gonna hurt running a fsb slower than the
cpu? How's it gonna hurt the cpu? The cpu just slows down without any damage-inducing results, right? "Paul" wrote in message ...

For an E6750 2.66GHz/FSB1333/4MB L2 dual core, the math would be: 2.66 * (1066/1333) = 2.13GHz. It means the processor would only run at 0.8 of normal speed. HTH, Paul |

Shaun, would you believe me if I told you that the cpu 1333 on that zipzoomfly website was the same price as the cpu 1066? No lie.........well, it was $3 different in price...but whose counting $3? Not me.........Also, I want to get all my parts from the same site so they come at the same time..and zipzoomfly has free shipping |
