What do you guys think of my proposed system... I'm not bothered about upgrading on the same mobo so i've gone for S754.. I'm worried about simple errors i might have made...
Athlon 64 3000+
Asus K8N-E Deluxe, nForce3 250Gb
512mb/1Gb(512mb x 2) DDR400 Corsair xms *
My old Radeon 8500 64mb- waiting for gfx card price drop or 6600 GT/X700 to emerge.
Coolermaster Praetorian Case (perhaps the only part i'm 100% on)
Sony DRU700A Dual layer DVD writer
* I'm unsure about S754... but i've rumours that if you have two memory modules in a S754 mobo the speed will fall to DDR333 and 3 modules means a drop to DDR266? Is this the case or have i got my wires horribly crossed?
I already have Doom3 sitting next me now and hope to play on low or medium settings in the near future i'll probably buy this proposed system within a week.
thx for your feed back![]()

), it's aluminium, rather than the steel of the centurion, which I think makes it worth the extra (having carried numerous steel/alu cases around). Also, the lite-on drives comment - I'd say is only applicable for cd-rw/dvd-rom drives, the NEC drives are a much better choice when talking about dvd-rw. Look into the 3500A - there's likely a black/silver version at microdirect or ebuyer, if not, there's bezels to fit on to the front instead.
