Thinking of changing mobo, RAM and (some later day) CPU (~XP300+)...
The mobo would be (?) Asus A7V880 , but for RAM i wonder.

What's the differences on these Apacer's memories (I'm thinkin cheap),
models:
77.50736.56G 72eur
77.50736.53G 72eur
77.10736.56G 73eur
77.10736.334 76eur
77.10736.464 76eur

I'm buying 2 pieces, so 1GB dual-channel, BUT will these CL3s work on the
A7V880 ??

My system now is:
System is: (HW) ASUS A7V133-C m/b (BIOS 1009), Athlon (T-bird) 1.2 GHz(FSB
100MHz), 512MB (SDRAM @133MHz, 256+2*128)), 120+80GB HDs(primary IDE), DVD
and CD-RW(sec. IDE), GF2MX (32MB), Creative SB Live!Value, Hercules SmartTV,
D-Link NetNic(DRN-32TX),Godegen Noble ATX8012 case with 350 power supply and
80mm rear-mounted exhaust fan, external Zyxel Prestige645R ADSL modem.
OS: Windows XPpro (SP1 and all fixes, not SP2)

Check this link out to see what ASUS has to say about the RAM you're
looking at, particularly the far-right columns.

http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7v880/overview.htm

I don't know what success you'll have using non-listed components...
maybe it's no big deal, but someone else can speak about that. I didn't
feel like taking risks and having to send stuff back (if even possible),
paying shipping costs, etc, so I used the official advice.

I like the A7V880 just fine, but if I were building a new system today
I'd look at a board using a processor with a future, like the Athlon64,
rather than the AthlonXP which appears to be done. Their prices are
nearly identical at a given speed... dunno about the motherboard prices
tho.

Reading there, only the .464 would work. Oh well....


It is a question of price too (I'm "between works")


From where I usually by parts..

mobos
A7V880 61EUR
K8V-X is 754 70EUR
A8V DLX 112EUR

CPUs
Sempron 3000 boxed Sock.A 104EUR (this one)
Athlon XP3000 tray Sock.A (400FSB) 135EUR
Athlon64 2800+ boxed S754 126EUR
Athlon64 3000+ tray S939 147EUR
Athlon64 3200+ boxed S754 188EUR Newcastle
-"- S939 195EUR Winchester



This would give a price difference of 31EUR if S754 and 94EUR if S939

But if I read the A7V880 manual right, I can still use my 1.2GHz
Thunderbird,
so I don't have to shell out for the CPU now, but buy in parts, mobo&RAM
now..
Take off 104EUR more..
