Hello....browsing through this board there appears to
be a lot of intelligent and helpful people so here goes
my simple question. I putting together a new system as
follows: Abit BE6 w/ a celery366 tested to overclock at
550, WD 18 Gig 7200 ATA/66 HD, Voodoo3 3000, mx300
sound, kenwood 52x cdrom, 19" monitor(still looking for
the best price/performance), microsoft digital speakers
(maybe not the best but for $40 delivered after rebate
they were hard to pass up); well to my reason for
posting. I am attemting to find quality Ram for a quality
price, is this possible with the recent price runups? I'm
looking at the Mushkin labeled 128 MB PC-100 w/toshiba
cas2 6ns access time for $154.....anyone have suggestions
on the RAM, monitor or anything else for that matter???
Thanks for your help in advance........ |

Thats some expensive Ram, go to www.egghead.com, or onsale.com, the ram there is much cheaper, and if your board supports PC-133 Ram, do that,obviously much faster.I think the BE6 does support PC-133. The Celery should max at 500, 550 will overheat it trust me on that, even ventilated well u are risking overheating it at 500 unless you plan on keeping it at a low room temperature at about 65-70 Farenheit, somebody reported that theirs would overheat at 77farenheit and above. |
