I am going to build a PC with the components below. I would like
to know if this combination sounds good to you or if you have any
suggestion for any of the parts :

** CPU : P4 2.8Ghz, FSB 800, HyperThreading
** Motherboard : MSI Neo2-FISR 865 Chipset
** Graphics board : Matrox G550 Dual Head
** Hard Disks : 2 x Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9, S-ATA, 80 Gb, 8 Mb
** RAM : 2 x 512Mo PC3200 noname (Dual-Channel mode)
** CD-writer : Lite-on 52327
** Windows XP Pro

The PC is for current use plus some computational intensive tasks.
No games. No fast graphics needed. No overclocking.

Thanks in advance.
 
Change the ram to name-brand. Believe me it will save you so many
headaches...something like kingston even. If you go noname you tend to have
ALOT more parity errors. Make sure you test your ram with memtest86 after
you get it too.

I thought that using PC3200 RAM instead of the required PC2700 would
compensate for the lower quality of noname RAM. Also the fact that I wont
do any overclocking at all. And I still need name-brand ?

Well, I think I will follow your advice. Thanks.
