The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Building a PC from scratch..???

Asked by Carl2006 in Miscellaneous Hardware, Computer Memory (RAM), Video Cards

Tags: 478, 4gb, 800mhz

Hi guys,
I am going to build a PC. Mainly, i am going to use it for web developing(ASP.Net, java/java script), Photoshop, Illustrator,Dreamweaver, VC++6, VS.Net watching movies and surfing the Inet, Here are the specifications of the PC.
Processor: I am not sure if they are complerely compatible though. I checked the intel's web site and i didnt see the Corsair memory listed for compatible memory, would it be that possible? I just wanna make sure i have the best combination before considering purchasing over the Inet. Mainly, i have used newegg.com but if you offer other web sites with competitive prizes i will deffinetely take a look. Anything you could suggest me for my PC is appriciated a lot.
Thank you..
