Ok guys my first thread or post on this forum I have belonged to others but I never been on a computer one and this one looks great so here I am asking a few questions right off the bat.

Here's what I am planning on build in the next month hopefully less but just tell me what you think because it is my first custom pc. I've put fans in computers and changed harddrives but never anything with processors or motherboards.

Here it is:

Memory: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM

CPU Cooler: ZALMAN CNPS 9500 AM2 2 Ball Green LED Light CPU Cooling Fan

4200+ X2 will only run memory clock at 733mhz not 800mhz.

FX-62 2.80 GHz Dual 1 MB DDR2-800
X2 5000+ 2.60 GHz Dual 512 kB DDR2-743
X2 4800+ 2.40 GHz Dual 1 MB DDR2-800
X2 4600+ 2.40 GHz Dual 512 kB DDR2-800
X2 4400+ 2.20 GHz Dual 1 MB DDR2-733
X2 4200+ 2.20 GHz Dual 512 kB DDR2-733
X2 4000+ 2.00 GHz Dual 1 MB DDR2-800
X2 3800+ 2.00 GHz Dual 512 kB DDR2-800
3800+ 2.40 GHz Single 512 kB DDR2-800
3500+ 2.20 GHz Single 512 kB DDR2-733
3200+ 2.00 GHz Single 512 kB DDR2-800

To get optimal DDR 800 you would need to overclock to 2.4Ghz.


OH SORRY! I TAKE IT ALL BACK - YOUR 4200+ X2 IS 2GHZ - TOMS HARDWARE STATES IT QUITE CLEARLY AS 2.2GHZ - NOW I AM CONFUSED!

NO NO NO NO NO

I dont take it all back - it's a mis-print!!!!

Read the spec on the link - it is 2.2Ghz not 2.0Ghz as stated in title.
