Solve : Help me build (a old PC?)? |
|
Answer» OK. My friend brought me a bunch of parts from where he WORKS.. first of all, I'd definitely go with the motherboard with the intel pentium. They both have "intel pentiums" don't they? Quote from: Salmon Trout on June 27, 2010, 02:27:50 AM They both have "intel pentiums" don't they? Yes they are both "Intel Pentium" Processors. But if you are mentioning this due to my inability to put "Intel" in front of "Pentium" for the second motherboard, you are really getting annoying by constantly correcting my way of Speaking/Typing.Quote from: BluerjB on June 27, 2010, 03:55:34 AM Yes they are both "Intel Pentium" Processors. But if you are mentioning this due to my inability to put "Intel" in front of "Pentium" for the second motherboard, you are really getting annoying by constantly correcting my way of Speaking/Typing. My comment was directed at 2x3i5x, not you, He wrote "I would go for the one with the Intel Pentium. Since they both have Intel Pentiums, it didn't make a lot of sense. Lighten up.

Sorry againQuote from: BluerjB on June 27, 2010, 04:15:06 AM ohh ok... sorry, you've just been on my case... but he probably meant the Intel motherboard. Sorry again yes, I meant the motherboard with the intel pentium 4 processor. use that. Quote from: 2x3i5x on June 27, 2010, 10:35:19 PM yes, I meant the motherboard with the intel pentium 4 processor. use that. 2x3i5x , you forget the fact that both of the motherboars have intel pentium 4 processors..Quote from: BluerjB on June 28, 2010, 02:01:20 AM 2x3i5x , you forget the fact that both of the motherboars have intel pentium 4 processors.. you accidentally put "2" on the "ABIT" one, I think, but clearly there is no Pentium 2 (or even a P3) that is anywhere close to 2.8Ghz. personally, I'd look up the specs of each motherboard, and see which one is better- hard to tell at this point but you may be able to use either processor in either board (which means the 3.0ghz one is a shoe in) and even if not, .2 ghz may be a WORTHY sacrifice if the ABIT has better features: Let's compare: the ABIT: Chipset: Intel 865PE Compatible Processors: Intel Pentium 4 Front Side Bus Speed:800 MHz Video Interface: AGP 8x Storage Controller Type(s): Serial ATA x 2, DMA/ATA-100 (Ultra) x 2 Integrated Input/Output Ports: USB 2.0 x 8 • Serial Port x 1 • RJ45 Lan Port x 1 • PS/2 Mouse x 1 • PS/2 Keyboard x 1 • Parallel Port (ECP/EPP/SPP) x 1 • FLOPPY Port x 1 Expansion Slots: PCI x 5 • AGP Pro x 1 South Bridge Chip: Intel ICH5R Socket Type: Socket 478 Max supported CPUs qty 1 Memory Type: DDR SDRAM Number of Memory Slots: 4 x 184 Pin DIMMs Supported RAM speeds: 400 MHz Max Supported RAM : 4 GB Audio Output: Sound Card Integrated Audio AC97 Audio Codec Audio Input Microphone Jack • 1 x Line In Other Features: Hyper Thread Technology Ready • Dual Channel Memory Architecture Release Date : 6 September, 2003 Chipset:Intel 915 G Compatible Processors Intel Pentium 4, Intel Celeron D Front Side Bus Speed: 800 MHz Storage Controller Type(s) :DMA/ATA-100 (Ultra) x 1, Serial ATA x 4 Integrated Input/Output Ports :USB 2.0 x 8 • Serial Port x 1 • RJ45 Lan Port x 1 • PS/2 Mouse x 1 • PS/2 Keyboard x 1 • Parallel Port (ECP/EPP/SPP) x 1 • Floppy Port x 1 Expansion Slots: PCI Express x16 x 1 • PCI x 4 • PCI Express x1 x 2 South Bridge Chip Intel ICH6 Socket Type:Socket LGA775 Memory Memory Type: What is "Memory Type"? DDR SDRAM Number of Memory Slots: 4 x 184 Pin DIMMs Supported RAM speeds: 400 MHz • 333 MHz Max Supported RAM: 4 GB Audio / Video Audio Output What is "Audio Output"? Line Out Integrated Audio Realtek ALC860 Audio Input Microphone Jack • 1 x Line In Video Out Ports 15 Pin D-Sub VGA port x 1 On Board Graphic Processor Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 Communication Networking Type Ethernet, Fast Ethernet Fans 1 x 4-pin fan headers • 3 x 4-pin fan headers They are pretty similar, but the Intel board uses Socket 775, which I believe is far more recent. (I believe the P4 northwood, which is more recent then the Willamette die, is a 775 processor. I'd definitely go with the Intel board and it's processor. the rest of the components should work with it just fine. You ave four memory slots in either board so you will probably only be able to put in 1.5GB of the RAM you acquired (the two 512's and two 256's). As 2x3i5x noted, you should put them in adjoining banks. usually slot 0 and slot 1 make up a bank, slot 2 and 3, etc. try to make sure each bank has the same size of memory.

(I believe the P4 northwood, which is more recent then the Willamette die, is a 775 processor...You are correct. Socket LGA775 replaced Socket 478; cpu's are not interchangeable. LGA775 has better heat dissipation than the 478. LGA775 is still in use by some of the Core 2's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_775Quote from: BC_Programmer on June 28, 2010, 05:31:16 AM you accidentally put "2" on the "ABIT" one, I think, but clearly there is no Pentium 2 (or even a P3) that is anywhere close to 2.8Ghz. ok that works... thank you... and just so you guys know this isnt a computer im gonna use.. its just something i cant make and use for misic and other things... my actual computer is posted on the SBCC forum... hope you watch it...haha thanks again |
