Yes, this should all be fine.
Case - 25262
PSU - 19869

[Jiggles]

I see nothing wrong with it. I use CS3 at work on a P4 2.5GHz Processor and only 1GB ram so it should be fine.

[Lynx]

So do you own the p4 or are you going to buy one?

[Grayman]

Thank for your help will be putting the order in for this lot.

Lynx... no I was going to order the P4 with the rest of iteams.

It may be better to get a Dual Core CPU

[Grayman]

#28028 if you can afford it

[Lynx]

Nooooo!

Okay clock speed does not been better performance.
Get a: E2160, it will beat any P4 out there....... For a competitive price, it overclocks to 3ghz too without much trouble. It will double productivity, maybe quadruple.

I agree unless youve already got an old P4 cpu, or mobo which only takes a P4 cpu go for a e2140, e2160 or e2180.

Theres so much more to it than Mhz speed. Most importantly the core itself.

Toms hardware Oc'd a e2140 to 3.5 ghz recently anyhow if you want Ghz bragging rights! :mrgreen:

[Grayman]

Hi All,

I'm back for some help!!!!!! BIG TIME,

On the ABit IL9 Pro Intel 945P (775) Quickcode: #25424
it has a ATX 12V 4-Pin Power Connector, this connector supplies the power to the CPU,but the
Xilence 600W Gaming Edition PSU Quickcode: #27930
only has 1x 2pin....2x 6pins...and 1x 8 pin.
do i need a new PSU.or new pair of glasses.

Thanks

Grayman

[cleggypdc]

Hi Grayman,

If you look closely the 8pin connector should split into 2x 4pins :)
You can use either of these.

[Grayman]

Thanks,

Now you see what happens.... when dealing with an old fools like me.

[Grayman]

HP 20x DVDRW LightScribe Black 1040i-B Quickcode: #28800
