    Building a new PC - Northwood or Prescott?

    alright - I don't want to have to deal with memory issues - assuming I purchase the Abit MAXX3 and 3.0C northwood - what memory would best suit my needs - model numbers would be nice as well :) Thanks Everyone!

    Building a new PC - Northwood or Prescott?

    i've built 3 pc's all have been built with Abit boards - granted they were all 3 AMD/VIA Chipsets. I've had nothing but good luck out of them.... I was reading a maximum pc article about the use of the Chaintech board and how nice it was, it just got me thinking that maybe i should use that...

    Building a new PC - Northwood or Prescott?

    i don't wish to turn this into a pissing contest. I've been on both sides of the fence. AMD is great and Intel is equally as great. It's just my understanding that the edge is going to be given to Intel for apps such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Pagemaker, etc.... Comments on my mobo selection?

    Computer died during move - suggestions? shuttle vs. hornet? Possible notebook?

    that was the reason.... i like the looks and stuff.... I don't frequent lan parties or anything, nor am i a "pussy" Perhaps I will look into building another "big rig"... So for comparison of prices anyone got any suggestions for stable mother board?

    Computer died during move - suggestions? shuttle vs. hornet? Possible notebook?

    upon further research I learned that the prescott would melt that poor box faster than a snowcone on a warm day.... I do appologize for all of the crazy questions :D I just want to build a nice machine that will last as long or close to as long as the one i have now. One last thought -...

    bump for memory question - Do i get ECC or non- ECC.....? The SB75S has "Support Dual Channel ECC DDR400 Memory" So am i to assume I should buy ECC memory?

    Computer died during move - suggestions? shuttle vs. hornet? Possible notebook?

    also - with the reccomendations to stay northwood vs. prescott, am i off base? Would I be better off looking into building an AMD - 64 system? I appologize for all of the questions - I'm just wanting to order my stuff today!
