Hey everyone,
I just found your site, it's been great so far. I'm excited to start building my computer using the build found on the main page:
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (dual-core)
Ram Crucial 4096MB (4GB) PC8500 DDR2 (about 3.00GB usable)
Video Card eVGA Geforce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB DDR3 PCI-E
Hard Drive Western Digital 640GB 7200rpm SATA
DVD RW Samsung 22x DVD RW
Sound Card Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer (but the motherboard built-in sound is very good)
Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2 (Service Pack 2)
Monitor Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1-inch Flat Panel LCD Monitor
Is this build fairly current? What OS should I use? Should I use Windows 7 64 bit? I know you recommend using 32 bit software.
Thanks.
