The board I had to get for that demon proc is a Msi 790xt-g45. I ended up really liking the board. I also have a 790x-g45 with is the same board just supports ddr3 and also a 870-g45.

That 790xt-g45 looks nice. Eventually i'll replace this board. Would like to get ahold of a few am2/+ ddr2 boards as i have a few other chips I could use. Could get some decent crunchin in then.

If the chips will run in a ddr3 supported board I would strongly advise going that route. As ddr2 memory is expensive. Ddr2 is over twice the price of ddr3.

I just traded a mobo a couple weeks ago for 4gigs (2x2) of it. And I know where I can get another 4 gigs (2x2) I can put away for backup.

I have 6 x 2gig sticks now. and when I get the other 2 I will have enough to feel safe for awhile. I like to try and put backup stuff away for that just in case moment. And where I only have 1 system running ddr2 I think 4 extra sticks will be enough put away.

Would anyone have a cheap GPU laying around like a 8800GT single slot or 4850? Going to be taking the second 2600k to work and I will need a GPU to make it work. Also looking to play HL2/Portal2/CSS/CS/EXEC while on off time. PM me with a shipped price and we can go from there.

Well, spent all day trying to get Ubuntu to load up on the P4 HDD. Moved it to This Old Comp and tried Wubi install on that drive from XP running on my C: drive.
I'm done trying to get it to work this way. USB, P4 BIOS won't boot from it. Boot CD, MadShot sent me a 64bit that won't work (Thanks for the effort ). On top of all that, The HDD Chicken Patty sent had Win7x64 on it. So, once I got all that formatted and figured out the disk thingy, I tried the windows installer, Wubi, and all I get is some cryptic verbage and a command prompt. Upshot is this, I don't have $5 to buy an install disk. If anybody has one, kernel or ver. # doesn't matter, can I get a 32 bit copy? I'm going through all this because my understanding is that Linux is a bit better cruncher and I want to get all I can get out of this goofy old E-machine P4! Also, my XP Pro Install disk is 25 miles away in a storage locker. Even if I could get there, it would be a half day of searching for it! The good news is that it appears there is only one more hurdle, an install disk, and this thing will be up and running! P.S. I left a message with my local IT bar buddy, big fan of Ubuntu, and haven't heard back. If I hear anything, I'll let you all know.

I'm a newbie to Linux, can I just plug and crunch or will I have to spend another day configuring it? Well? turns out it's another .iso file that doesn't play nice with windows!

I might have to check the specs on this MoBo...for $9 I could triple my MGHz! Probably won't work on a cheap old E-machine, though!
OK, now it's time for a stop at the bar. Good thing it's close, literally out the back fence!
