First post! I am about to enter the world of a SFF pc so I thought id post to see if you guys think its an ok spec out right now. Ok here we go:
Shuttle SD37P2
CPU Intel Core 2 2.4ghz E6600
500GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 SATA II 300 7200rpm 16MB cache Hard Disk Drive
Corsair 2024MB TwinX XMS2 6400 DDR2 Memory Kit (2 x 1024MB
Sony AW-G170AB2 Dual Layer Black 18x DVD +/-RW 12X RAM oem
So I guess my first question is the SD37P2 states it needs 667 PC5300 DDR2 memory is it ok to put the PC6400 800 memory in above?
Also I can get the OCZ special ops memory (667 tho) for about the same price which is better? The above Corsair or the OCZ?
Also this pc will probably be a media centre hooked up to my tv.. I was going to go with the Sapphire x1950 pro 512 video card but I was thinking it could be too loud? Should I go with say Asus 7600GS SILENT 512MB DDR2 PCI-E instead? Whats people's feeling on ATI vs Nvidia? Ive heard Nvidia's vista drivers are cr4p thats why I was leaning towards the x1950...
Thanks alot for any feedback guys! I will post pics of the shuttle once I decide on these last things!!
