MB: DFI Lanparty nForce2 Ultra B
CPU: AMD 2600+ (I Looked at the CPU's serial numbers and it claims to be a Barton 512KB L2 cache and a 333Mhz FSB - I will have to see if this is true or not - bought it "OEM" offa eBay - I got kinda scared when I saw it and hope it's not a FAKE!)
RAM: Geil PC-3200 256MB X 2
These are my new goodies anyway, and then I'll see if I can get the fun to begin.




DFI Lanparty nForce2 Ultra B <--- this is the mobo I am using. The only problem I don't like is the way it handles voltage. The vcore jump by at least -/+ .5 volts! That is crazy and can lead to your system being unstable. Alot have done mods to stablize the voltage but I am to ignorant to even start doing something like that.

If that AMD 2600+ is not unlocked I suggest you cancel the order or send it back. Look for the mobile cpu's.. 2400,2500 and 2600's. I can run my mobile at 10x220 with a vcore of 1.5. My temps average in the 35c range idle and 39c load.

Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.
