Hello!I am first time posting message here.I always read the forum here.Therefore,I know there are some experts here!
I am going to buy a new PC in this summer. Can you all check this out?
CPU: AMD XP 2000+
Mainboard: MagicPro 7-VIP-DR2
^^^^^
this brand is not exist in Taiwan, so no comments

RAM: Kingston 256 PC2100 DDR
512 is better, but 256MB is also ok.
Display: Winfast GF3 Ti 500 (or GF4 Ti4200 if under HK$2000)
^^^^=>should be called "VGA(Video Graphics Adapter)"

if you want see movies in computer, ATI will be a better choise
nVIDIA is not a good movie player
but the stability of ATI's driver is need concern, too.

Sound: Creative SB Audigy DE
Speaker: Creative inspire 2.1
HD: IBM 40GB 7200rpm 2M or Maxtor 40GB 7200rpm DMA133

i strongly suggest Maxtor. IBM? Forget it!

DVD: Panasonic 16xDVD
CDRW: Panasonic 24/10/40 CDRW
Floppy: Panasonic 1.44MB FloppyDisk

Are you Panasonic fans? cc~
If you sometimes need making a copy of the game with copy-protect.
choose the cd-r that can read&write the copy-protect cd will be better
ex: Lite-on or Plextor(not all type)

CPU fan: MagicPro cpu fan(around 7000rpm)
mouse+keyboard: Logitech optical mouse(PS/2) keyboard(USB)
case: iCute 8320 with 6 case fan and 300W power supply

your cpu fan & case fans will make so loudly noise
if you don't mind, that's ok. but suggest you looking more cpu fan
reviews prevents buy a expensive but suck cpu fan.
if your budget is ok, suggest you buy 350W power supply.

at last, i suggest you post the message with chinese as posible as
you can. you will get more reply from here

ps: summer is far from now, so you can watch and think what
PC component is good for you, don't worry about it too early~
maybe everything will be different in summer(price or products)

YA....看你的配備還真是高級啊，拿這個來玩PC game，粉浪費說....
如果要玩game，用P4系列的會不錯，建議P4 2200
另外風扇，燒錄機也都如同上面大大所說的.....不一定是最好的選擇
硬碟其實WD也不賴
最後，相信用中文寫會更好....

P4 2.0 wait it drops to $1500-$2000
VGA: GeForce is better than ATi when play 3d games???
CD writer uses Yamaha ok ma?
HardDisk uses WesternDigital or Maxtor ok la,but use ATA133 is it better than ATA100?

again,i use English because i am in a hurry.I popst the last article in 0:00am,so i use Eng to en-fast myself!
anyway,thanks a lot!
KOU Hei FAT CHOI!

YA.....燒錄器用Yamaha的還不錯啦，只不過記得挑24X的（型號是3200？）的，不要選擇2200的，那個抓音軌會有點問題
而ATI的8500實力比G3 200好，比500差，但是driver要多留意（如果要跑game建議使用G3，畢竟他是大宗主流，而且driver相容性也高），呵呵，要不kyroII其實也不錯...
如果你選Maxtor是為了ATA 133那就免了，不會帶來任何的好處，我個人喜歡WD的，其實我更喜歡IBM的那台40GB 7200轉的（我幫同學組裝到現在一年還沒出問題，真是快極了，聲音非常小，幾乎沒有），不過，可能是我個人比較幸運吧....anyway

ok...最後一句我看不懂...

KOU Hei FAT CHOI!

恭喜發財!(粵語發音)

normally, AMD Athlon XP 2000+ uses what cpu fan best?
and normally 2000+ what temperature when comparing with P4 2.0G
效能/價錢 i think AMD XP 2000+ is better than P4 2.0G
is it true?
AMD XP has 3D NOW!Professional,but P4 has SSE2
which cpu is better in 3D gaming?

the cpu fan reviews you can see http://www.athlonoc.org

there are many good choises for you

compare with P4, I think AthlonXP's C/P is really better.

for game....the athlonXP & P4 are both too enough to play any game

that you want

just like ATI Radeon Series & nVIDIA Geforce Series, they are all

ok for any game~

ps: Radeon R7500 or up is better
nVIDIA Geforce3 or 4 is better (not include Geforce4 MX haha~)

Ya!GeForce4 MX series is really bad
its preformance is only between GeForce2 MX and GeForce3
Therefore, GeForce 3 Ti500 and GeForce 4 Ti 4200 are my choice
GeForce4 Ti 4200 has better preformance than GeForce3 Ti500???
Look at the GeForce4 article in www.gamespot.com
GeForce4 Ti4200 is only US$199
GeForce3 Ti 500 is US$399
However,the card GF4 Ti4200 seems better
Hope GF4 Ti4200 will not higher than HK$2000




(Actually,GF3 Ti500 is not bad[super good at this moment]but the price is too high)

That's right, summer is far from now!! you better to get more informations then make a decision before a week to buy.
