Aid Semi New Build

[squall_01]

Okay I had a few parts that I got cause I didnt know where I could get most of the stuff on the site.  But I think that the board works its a biostar 478 pent 4.  Know what I wondered is what I can get without putting to much money into it.  I have a psu an some extra smaller drives.  Want a maxtor or western digital sata drive, need ddr ram an a decent pent 4.  I'm going to cuse the onboard audio an video but I also have an AGP video card an Sound cards if they would work better.  Cause I heard that its better then using the on board.

Well, the on-board video and sound usually or often work off the RAM on board (they borrow part of the RAM).  If RAM's not an issue, most on board video and sound will work just fine for everyday tasks.

If I have video or sound cards available, I throw them in, but I've used on-board video with no problem (when I didn't mind the bite it takes out of your RAM) and used on-board sound with no problem at all.

out of personal experience, i recommend not purchasing maxtor drives. i would consider purchasing seagate HDs.

Maxtor hard drives are crap. I have had more trouble with them drives then anyother harddrives!!
