New build questions
My current pc is Pentium 3 with 600MHz 256MB RAM and 20GB hard drive. It's over 7 yrs old. I need a better pc to move data from a miniDV camcorder that I tape when go on vacations and put in DVDs. I'm thinking about building a new one with these parts but have a few questions.
barebone http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856110043 processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103535 1) Do you know if a power supply and a cooling fan come with this barebone? 2) Looking at the specifications I couldn't tell if this supports dual channel mode or single channel mode memory. Is it OK to install just 1 stick 1GB memory? or do I have to install memory as pair like 2x512 MB? 3) Are this processor and barebone sys compatible? I just want to make sure I order the right parts. Thanks. |

1. i spose so, you get everything in the picture i guess
2. you can install 1 1GB stick, dual channel is of course optional, the barebone looks to support dual channel (from picture alone), if it has 4 ram slots, separated into 2 pairs, then dual channel should be available 3. looking from just socket type, i would say yes, the processor aint the best or newest, of the socket type, so it should work with the board |

Thanks cHiNgY1788. I didn't check all the pictures so I didn't see the fan initially.

You might want in the near future to order another power supply. Usually the ones that come with the cases aren't the best and before long they go bad. So it would be better to buy a quality power supply and install it before something like that happens. I know from experiance mine went bad and fried my hard drive. Just to let you know!
It might be better if you buy the case without the power supply and buy the power supply seperate. |

Thanks everyone. I wonder if the power supply is power enough if I'm going to have a graphics card since I'll make DVD which deals with graphics. I'm not sure if the built-in graphics is good enough or I really need a separate card.

graphic card really just handles resolution, colour depth, when games are not played, so the provided graphics card should be ok
its when you get moving pictures it might lag |
