building a new pc need help

[Train]

Build what we want and I agree at our age why not. I be 68.

But I like to travel and that takes money too.

As for hanging on to old computers, I gave that up a few years ago.

[yvesj]

talk to me about traveling a week ago i did go up north [northbay ] from wallaceburg .with my camper on the truck it cust me 194.00 just to go up in gas .
by the time i came back home i had spend 430.00 in gas .a dem computer .lol .
but i did cross in quebec to buy some french stuff that i cant not find here .
then when i got there i could not trurn my frige on gas some i could not go in the bush at all .it was a little bet of rust that fell on the burner so the gas was not coming true the burner .
all i did is blow the stuff off .now it working fine .but it to late am back .lol
train what do you thing about a board with ddr2 and ddr3 on it .
is that be good to have because i am sure that my processer work on amd2 and amd3 .so i be needed is a set of ram for the ddr3 slot .

[yvesj]

here is the board [ASRock N68C-S UCC AM3/AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

[Train]

Limitations of that board.

*DDR3 and DDR2 are supported separately.

**DDR3 memory is only supported by installing AM3 cpu.

I do suggest you read the manual before you purchase that board.
http://www.asrock.com/mb/manual.asp?Model=N68C-S%20UCC

6 2 x 240-pin DDR2 DIMM Slots 20
(Dual Channel: DDRII_1, DDRII_2; Yellow) 21
7 2 x 240-pin DDR3 DIMM Slots 22
(Dual Channel: DDR3_A1, DDR3_B1; Blue)

4. DDR2 and DDR3 memory modules cannot be installed on this
motherboard at the same time.

CPU support list.

So you can find you cpu and know which ram to use.

this is my cpu that is coming tomorrow [ AMD Athlon II X2 265 Regor 3.3GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor ADX265OCGMBOX
so it will do for the drr2 and ddr3 i thing

[yvesj]

ok trian here is a good one for .
now this is my board [N68S+]here is the question .
cant i run athlon 64x2 with my cpu [AMD Athlon II X2 265 Regor 3.3GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor ADX265OCGMBOX
thank you

Looks like it will work out. But as this applies.
*If you use a AM3 / AM2+ CPU on AM2 chipset motherboard, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0 (5200 MT/s) to HT1.0 (2000 MT/s), but the CPU frequency will not be influenced.

[yvesj]

so what you are saying is i will loose speed right .
what if i buy the black cpu [95watts] .
like i said i not to good at pc .but you did teach me 95 % of what i know since 2006 .
i wil send you the cpu that am taliking about .
very custly

[yvesj]

this here [AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto 3.2GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 80W Dual-Core Desktop Processor - C3 Revision HDZ555WFGMBO

[Train]

The cpu is fine, but the motherboard is a AM2, and that is where slowdown is at.

[yvesj]

got it train .but it cant not be wosrt of what am using now .
this is my mobo that i have now on my pc .
it is a intel [d946gzis ] and my pc is really fast .
so i will gain speed with my new set up .
i see and maybe later i buy a ddr3 board .all i need is the board and the ram ddr3 .maybe 110.00 for a good set .

[Train]

From the P4, yes there should be a nice difference. Definitely be a cooler cpu.
And add the fact the new one is multi core, X2 = smiling time!!

[yvesj]

thank you .well i did receive my new case this after noon .but my god are they ever made tin now .not like to use to be .
just like car 25 years ago they where really tick metal .now they are so tin .every thing is getting sheap now .
but it is not some that you around .it is strong enuff .
now i have to wait for the mobo .led light .power supply .
so will take it a part and i will paint black inside ..
i do have to take the front anyway to put the led fan in there .
but it should easy all it is are small click that you press in then they just slide out .or you push out .lol .you know what i mean .

[yvesj]

well last i install a red 120mm in the front .what a job .i could not remove complitly the front panel .but i got it in [fan].
now i just finish painting the inside black .
i t looking really good now .
now i have to wait for the rest of my parts to come in.
by thw way i was reading the reviews about that board that have ddr2 and ddr3 on it .99% gave it 5 on 5 so it as to be really good to get a rating that hight .
maybe i order it .?????? i have to thing about it a little more before i deceide
