 | [QUOTE=SleepDepD]FLCL...Fooly Cooly...Furi Kuri--anyone else watched that?[/QUOTE] Yes. It's quite insane. Which is why I have all three volumes...... As you can see, I like anime.

 | FPS is "Frames per second". It determines the performance of games, with a higher rate producing smoother graphics. A low rate will appear laggy/chuggy/slow/choppy and can make a game unplayable as ingame actions take far too long to complete with far too few frames. I would mark 30 frames per … |
| | Note: PC2700 RAM (and indeed, any RAM) is happy to run at lower speeds. Thus, if you used PC2700 RAM in the above board, it would run at the speed of the slowest stick (133Mhz).  |

| | Quite a few motherboards enjoy switching boot drive preference to PATA when you plug one in, which is what's happening here (it's a royal pain, and has happened to me a number of times). You need to head into the BIOS and change the priority to the 80Gb SATA drive. |
| | Prescott processors have different power requirements, and as such a number of older boards (that worked AOK with standard Northwood 800FSB models) did not have the right hardware to run them. I'm not sure if this is the case with the cut-down Prescott you have there, but considering that the … |

| | You might want to consider an ATI 9100IGP chipset motherboard if you decide to go for a Pentium 4. The onboard video, while currently languishing near the bottom of the performance ladder, would probably be a significant improvement over your PCI video card.

 | CL2 is the CAS latency of the RAM, part of the RAM's timings. In short, the lower the number, the faster the RAM. Therefore CL2 > CL3. |

| | For that kind of money, I'd consider a 7800GT. There appear to be at least 2 within your price range ($299 that I could find - phoawr, $1 under). A very good chipset that will perform faster than a X850XT in most situations. |

| | The reason Windows failed to boot previously is because of your drastic hardware change and not removing the old drivers beforehand. Regardless, it is highly recommended you reinstall Windows when swapping motherboards and/or video cards.
