    RAM Corsair XMS 1 GB 2x512 twinx1024-3200xl

    more to follow as soon as i get it all put together still need to get some HDD and i think thats it besides a better monitor
    ok i got it all put together its on i had some issues powering off right away but i think i have solved that issue

    i am running the bios that came with the board i got pershoots cd but havent put it iin yet i read that the 310 bios is the newest and most succesful for people i dont know what one i have honestly but there is a lot of settings and kind of overwhelming i guess i got some reading to do and some trial and error ahead of me

    i also got a 36gb raptor and a 250 gb barracuda 7200.8

    The CD is just another way to boot into DOS and flash. It does the same thing as the floppy except there are 30 BIOS versions to choose from. Its as safe as using the Windows installation CD.
