Well I been reading up on my mobo for days, I had to flash my bios, which is a scary thing to do but it went perfectly, it now recognises that its dual channel :D

The dvd drive is still crazy, not sure its fixable, the guys in the shop are sure to argue that its working perfectly, I would like to see them get it working, will let you know how it goes.

Whats that behind that bottle of beer Ruby? Nothing illegal i hope :wink: Oh yeah i see its a corkscrew :roll:

Also here is a parts list of things i have ordered and hope to have most of it by the first week of January. Some of it is on back order.

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ / 2.2 GHz processor
ASUS A8V Deluxe - mainboard - ATX - K8T800 Pro VIA chipset
Western Digital Raptor WD360GD - hard drive - 36.7 GB - SATA-150(10000rpm)
MSI XA52P - CD-RW / DVD-ROM combo drive - Serial ATA
EDGE memory - 512 MB x 1 - DIMM 184-pin - DDR
MSI FX5900XT-VTD128 - graphics adapter - GF FX 5900XT - 128 MB (For now the card i really want is on BO with no ship date :cry: )
KINGWIN Mutant X Silver/Gray Gaming Case With 420W Power Supply and clear acrylic window

In the near future i plan on building on this but i need to get started with something for now.
There are a few extra bells and whistles as well but they dont do anything for speed, just looks. I have been spec'n out parts for a while now and i think im going to get some bang for my buck. I just hope this thing goes VRoooOOOmmmm when its all done.
