Wow! your All here today, that's Great...Thanks...
It is Allways Appreciated to here the comments & suggestions from U ALL...THANKS....

Can't afford a Pentium Bistro....Wish i could!

Do agree that Dual Channel Route is the way forward...But hardest part is which Slot/Socket do we chose!!...I chose Socket A because it's what i'm use to...But i think they be doing away with it soon!!!!Yes?

I'm running an "ABIT KG7-Lite" with 2x 256Mbt DDR Ram PC2100 with a NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX/MX400 graphics card.....It is Good enough but i am looking n needing a Better Faster system, not for games as I only occasionaly play Unreal, but for my Photography n DVD n Music.....I use PhotoShop 7 an Awfull lot these day......So If U Think that the System I have chosen is way over the top, then Please say so n give me a Recomendation....
I do know there be quite a few things in that board that i will not Ever Use.....(Remember, This Board was recomended to me by a friend who says it's the Best since sliced bread)!!!!!n it's ready for the Future...

So then PhotoLady, @ what does the 2600 run @!! is it 1.8Ghz or near...A 2800 is what i think will be appropriate.......What does anyone else say!?

THANKS for Putting my Brain back into Gear by explaining the ATA...Thought I was right but was not sure....

Bistro----Thanks for Explaining that in an easy way...I knew that was kind of correct but still find it all confuseing...lol..

So to itterate a little (if that's the word)....Please pop in n Recomend something else if U wish it will Help Me.....

Maxtor 120Gbt or 160Gbt or an (120 + 80) works out cheeper than a 200 hard disk....Lite-On DVD-Rom 166S----
Already got a Floppy with card readers...n a NEC 2500A DVD Writer, plus PCI USB2.0 card if needed.......
Now then, I Don't Need SATTA or PATA (they Confuse the HECK outa Me) or a Nic Card ...Plus RAID Just Addles my Brain because I don't Understand it nor can Fathom out why anyone would want to Run 2 HD as One with a copy of everything on the other.....Sounds like a Waste to Me!!...I do DO Backups n I do DO a Copy of my System on another Drive....That's enough in it!?
Over To U lot then......Thanks..
