5 or 6 PCI ATX Motherboard 2 pci E

I'd typically recommend using PC2-6400.

4GB of memory is plenty, you won't need any more than that.

 

What if I see a HOT new Game thats only on PC(For example Crysis example ONLY ) I know this require some type of year 2100 Technology.

Also I need a graphics card

 

You will indeed - you will need a decent power supply as well, what is your remaining budget?

 

I have a 585 Watt Power Supply That I install when I change over to a Newer Case.

 

The wattage of a PSU is almost irrelevant, a typical gaming PC only uses 200W. You need a quality unit. It's no good having a cheap unit, no matter how many watts it says it has. Which brand is this PSU?

 

Orion Model: hp585d

That's a pretty poor unit. I'd buy this to replace it:

Don't be fooled by the lower wattage rating, this will put out far more power than the Orion unit will.

 

OK I will look into that psu.
Now what about a graphics card???

 

How much do you have to spend on one?

 

120.00 - 150.00 BUT that will be 2 or 3 Months later I do have Bills

 

If it's that long away, ask again then, the graphics card market moves fast, you may be able to get something different by then.

 

A friend just told me It depends on the information your Motherboard is recovering. Docs,pics music, and everything like this makes no difference.
The only thing which may be an issue is a program but even that's highly unlikely.32/64 bit is pretty much totally imterchangeable.

 

That's right, and most programs work with 64-bit windows as they are not exclusively 64-bit operating systems. However, 64-bit XP is hopeless, so you will need 64-bit Vista, and Vista can often be a real pain in the arse to get working, so it's for this reason I recommend sticking with 32-bit XP.

 

I use norton ghost to make my backup of XP. will I have any problems restoring xp on a totally different computer. Would my XP key still work

 

It will only work if your current chipset is similar to the P31. You will also need to reactivate windows.

 

NOOOO! No more Money how much is XP now like 200.00 is Pro Better.

 

Note, reactivation doesn't cost any money.

 

But I already reactivated once before when my HDD Died I had to call Microsoft for a new key.


GIGABYTE GA-EP31-DS3L whats the max memory can go on per slot
(Example 4 x 4GB or 2 x 2GB)

 

As far as I'm aware, you can reactivate several times, not just the once.
The max memory on the EP31-DS3L is 2x2GB, to make 4GB.
