Well, after all is said and done, 2 months in the works (on a budget),
slowly buying the system piece by piece it is done..and running (took most
the day to get it stable) but I am very very impressed with Ati 9600 card..
system is:
Mobo: Asus A7n8x dlx 2.0 bios 1003
Cpu : Amd 2500 xp Barton
HD: Maxtor 40gig
Vid Card: Radeon Ati 9600
Case: 420w
Ram: 512 Simpletech pc2700
OS: Win Xp Pro
Now when I put it together I did it this way..
Get Hd formated..then put win xp pro on it, then put on asus Mobo
drivers..then Vid Card drivers..then updated win xp pro (took about 3-4
differ trips to the update site so much to dl so do it step by step).. then
tweeked the bios some (get the 2500 running at a 2500) then installed SW:G
and loged on and crash..ok so look at tech support for sw:g and update Vid
card drivers and the rest is history.
So again a system that worked on paper that 'should' work in real life
does.. really enjoy building systems (had my ups and downs..this was a up
one) and my woman really enjoys it now (she had a p3 550) so this system was
for her while i still play on my amd 800 (oc to 1ghz) system (cry)
