Another system, will this work? Any cables/parts missing?

Question

Once again, in my quest for a new computer, I have come across some parts, that might make a whole system. Will these make a complete system (I already have monitor, mouse, keyboard, and Operating System) ?

I am worried that I will order these parts, and then have them be incompatible.

I have followed Doug B's advice and decided not to get a Celeron, but the systems he gave weren't fast enough in the speed department.

Will this system work, or will it just be a pile of parts?

The RAM is 240 pin DDR2 667, the hard drive is ATA100, the CD drive is EIDE, the motherboard has the following specs:
Supported CPU
CPU Socket Type LGA 775
CPU Type Pentium 4 Prescott / Celeron D
FSB 800/533MHz
Supported CPU Technologies Hyper-Threading Technology
Chipsets
North Bridge ATI Radeon Xpress 200
South Bridge ATI SB400
Memory
Number of Memory Slots 2×184pin + 2×240pin
Memory Standard DDR 400/DDR2 667
Maximum Memory Supported 2GB
Dual Channel Supported Yes
Expansion Slots
AGP Slots 1 x AGP Express slot
PCI Express x16 1
PCI Express x1 2
PCI Slots 2
Storage Devices
PATA 2 x ATA100 up to 4 Devices
SATA 1.5 Gb/s 4
SATA RAID 0/1

The CPU is a Intel P4 Prescott 3.2GHz, the case is ATX, with a 450 PS, and the OPerating system I have is Xandros Linux.

Check this one out.

Just get them to through anouther 512Mb RAM in should still be under $400

As you can see from this chart AMD's GHz do not correspond to the AMD they processor I recommended was faster that this Pentium check out the chart. The AMD 3500 would kick the A55 of a Intel 3.5GHz processor.

Hope this helps.

You are not providing enough informations for me, a systems anylist to determine if your hardware will work. Yes you have the main items, but are they all ibm compatible parts? As for celeron always buy intel you will never have a problem....what is it that you are concerned about with your hardware...what kind of motherboard do you have, how much ram do you have, do you have all the cables, if you have all ibm compatible parts there should not be a problem...please give more info... do you have windows xp home, do you have all the drivers for every piece of hardware that you have, do you have compatible ram (it must match or be compatible with the serial number on your ram). What speed or mhz is the motherboard, there are too many questions unanswered to respond to this question. Take care Heather

Answer 3

Have you ever built a computer before?

I suggest you hit some tag sales first and find something that works and you can practice on before you spend the money to do this. Or even find a recent computer and upgrade it..........
