Sorry also can i ask when you have the right memory details how do you know how much your computer can work with? i was told normally 1 upgrade of what your computer comes with so if you buy a computer with 512 you can go 1024? is this correct and if you are building your own how do you know what to start with and what your maximum is.
Thank you.
Thank you.
ECS says you can use up to 4 Gig of DDR 400 memory . . XP is only going to recognize 3 Gig of that so no need to go over 2Gig. You can find out more about your board here: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?CategoryID=1&TypeID=31&DetailID=534&MenuID=16&LanID=9
If you are going to use a 64bit CPU and a 64bit OS (XP64 or linux), then you can actually use the 4 GB RAM. But if you are going to use the 64 bit version of XP, be aware that general support for it and particularly driver support is still very low.
It might improve in 10 or 20 years when the 64bit vista is officially released... But by that time the hardware will laugh at a mere 64bit CPU and so will the real OS's like linux...
If you are going to invest all this money is top line new hardware, why in goodness use an ECS board? They work, sure, but why not get something top notch like the latest ASUS A8N for the 989 CPU -- or something similar. You are only talking $10-20 more for a top of the line board, that is what I would do.
