[LyL18]

Ok, look in my sig for specs, What is the minimum that ill need to switch to Athlon64?

Hers what I have picked out so far

AMD Athlon64 3000+
Albatron K8X800 ProII
$344.00
What else will I need? RAM? Does my ram have to be registered? I have some Corsair right now

Thanks

your ram is good enough, just need a mobo and the cpu.

Does your power supply have the ATX12V connector (the 2 x 2 pin Molex type connector)? Most Athlon 64 boards require it. Also, if you purchase an OEM processor you'll need a Socket 754 or 940 compatible heatsink/fan unit.

Yeah my PSU has those... I wondered what they were for. I was planning on just getting the Stock HSF then upgrading later.
thanks for the headsup!
