windows 7 ultimate here..but
it's nice..best OS from microsoft so far.

@ravewar,keep the 865P chipset with you. It is a far far better chipset than VIA one.

better expandability options too, just in case you need to use pci cards,
since it's a full-fledged atx mobo

I guess that somehow the PCI-E based cards are not needed if he doesn't need to have extra SATA port to support the storage.

yeah...the intel 865 board has lotsa pic slots....and able to put in additional PCI sata ports... ....can have more hdds connected...but it doesn't have a built-in network, so currently has a PCI network card...

the jetway VIA chipset mobo has a very small footprint and very compact...simple design...good for HTPC applications....but that's about it...hmmm...

seems like the 865 is still a favourite for P4 guys aaaa..

The resurrection from the grave! I summon you to come alive! alive!

haha the revival of my s478 rig after years of R.I.P in the coffin. Now she is alive and kicking. There she goes:-

Intel Pentuim 4, 2.8ghz HT Northwood, stepping D1
PCChips P25G, chipset VIA P4M800/8237, supports 800/533/400 MHz
1gb + 512mb Kingston KVR400 DDR1 ram
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9250, 128mb, AGP 8X
Maxtor 80gb PATA
Asus DVD-RW
AVF PSU 500w.. +12v*20A = 240w oklah tu
17" CRT Multimax brand
Running by Windows XP currently... will testing out Win7 later

Intel chipsets have been proven rock solid in all reviews and it will continue to be the best chipset for Intel processors
All OCers are using Intel chipset mobos

Just get a network can and plug in and you still left 4 slots for additional PCI cards. Your main purpose of your rig is to become a HTPC? Which type of casing are you going to use then?

Good to hear that,can use the rig as torrent machine then.

Overclockers are with Intel based chips always,i second that. On your new RAM,are they relabeled RAM?

Nope, not relabled rams
Oh well I dig some old rams from the current machines and see

The other rams so far I've found:

512MB DDR400:-
3 TwinMOS 512MB RAMs with MTEC chips, can do 227Mhz-230Mhz 2.5-3-3-x stable 1:1 and 5:4
1 TwinMOS 512MB RAM with ELPIDA DD250BARTA 0540B9A10-5B chip
1 TwinMOS 512MB RAM with PSC chips

256MB DDR333/DDR266:-
1 Hynix BT-J
1 Samsung TCB3
1 Infineon BT-7
1 NANYA BT-6K
1 ELPIDA 5B

128MB DDR266:-
1 MT -75B <---dunno what chip is this

shinjite and raymond,

ok then. i'll prolly sell the via chipset mobo away...

gonna rebuild the P4 and reduce too many PCs at home.

so 2 P4 rigs will be combined to do up 1 P4 rig. remaining will post in garage sale.

i'll prolly retain my 3.2ghz proc, and sell the 2.8ghz HT proc.

@shinjite,you have so many RAM inyour store.The Hynix BT-J is a legendary RAM,can do 250MHz 1:1 easily.

if got RAM, come offer me...
or PM me to offer you.

can do speeds of 280Mhz and above too
Sadly I found 1 stick only

I have some of them but useless too,stick them on the Asus low end mobo. The mobo can't perform at 1:1 on DDR333.

Eh u have some of them?
512MB or 256MB?

I have but in used,no spare unit. 4 sticks of 256MB BT-J.

Sadly the age of 1GB is no longer useful~~
As most of the best RAMs are of 256MB and 512MB sticks

Oh well, DDR2 or DDR3 is the way now

Guys, just hands down 2x 1T Samsung Spinpoint f3 together with edmin! Loot 4 units at the same time! It's FAST man! Cheapest 1T drive in the market now yet its the fastest! Head to head with WD black series thou!

Btw, side advertising here.. Anyone looking for Raptor / storage drive, kindly PM me. Am letting go my raptor 74G and WD Green 640G. Both still cover by warranty until 2011.

Woots
I also wanna get Samsung Spinpoint F3, where to source?

I kinda doubt the relaibility of samsung HDD.
WHich is why I chicken out and buy the 800GB WD Green instead.

How long you've been using the F1 already?
