Hey Trotter,
All seems good. I have it up n running now. The Brisbane CPU worked payed $15 for CPU n HS fan. I ordered 2 more gigs of same OCZ RAM. They came n when I installed them they didnt work. So theyre goin back to NE. That MB test was simple. Fear of the unknown.
I had no problem...
Hey thanks for info guys but while I was waiting to hear back from somebody I rebooted. It took awhile again this time it came up and XP recognized it so got my files and all good now. Thanks again for your help.
I have an older 20 GB HD WD 205BA ( that I can't access thru WinXP Pro. It says it has bad sectors, it might. I havn't used it for over a year so maybe it went bad. The problem is I need some of the files off of it. I used it with this same computer before. It runs, BIOS sees it, XP did Chk Dsk...
Thanks. I'll let you know what I get or if the Brisbane works.
I got another problem with old FAT32 drive that I'm trying to access. I'll post it in proper area.
Thanks Trooter good to know.
Couple questions about CPU.
The used AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 5000+ Brisbane ADO5000IAA5DU had a little bit of thermal paste on the outside 2-3 pins very little. Will this be a problem? Do you think it got shorted from this? Remember it did start but...
Is my power supply enough for this setup?
Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC 430W ATX12V
This is what I'm getting.
GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H - MB
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane - ADO5000IAA5DU

I apologize to Sapphire the problem was Adobe Reader.
The used MB didn't work. It kept rebooting about every 3 seconds. Had to turn off PS. That sounds like heat problem to me but shouldn't have been I used AS-5 on it. What does it sound like to you guys?
So still looking for a DDR2 240 pin...
No problem Trotter I got bigger probs. I can't get the rebate form from Newegg. Could you or somebody else on here go to this link and try to dl this rebate? It's just below the add to cart box. I can get it into my adobe read but it won't open all the way. I get a partial doc. Only about a 1/4...
Trotter, I was going to get 1 stick 2GB of RAM but I know DChan is better so I bought this before you got back to me. I think I got a good deal. 2 OCZ's 1GB each $38.99 shipd. I did go with the right card though. I figured same you did 512 had to be worth $10. Now if I can only get the rebate to...
