Greetings from Phoenix!

Post by SethC »

Howdy, all!

Well, I have been a lurker long enough and thought I would introduce myself.

My name is Seth and I am a struggling computer builder. (Hi, Seth!)

My current computer is a Pentium 4 - 2.0 GHz on an Intel MB with 1 MB of RAM. That was my first build and it went flawlessly, mainly because I took a Valium to reduce the stress.

But now, I am building a new one that will last me for a while and here is what I have so far:

MB - Intel D975XBX2K - ATX 775
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 775
RAM - TBD

I am a casual gamer. I played EQ I for about three years and now play WoW and EQ II.

Anyway, thanks for these forums and the great reviews and articles.

Now... for me to beg for advice on other parts of these forums!

Best wishes,

Seth

EDIT: I am not really an overclocker. I may be in the future, but that isn't a priority for me.

No particular reason. My computer does a decent job, so I just never upgraded it beyond what it is now.

I've had that, "being watched", feeling for quite sometime now and am glad that you've stopped doing that and have finally come forward.... :lol: Welcome to LR!
Don't ask me, cause I know nothing! I'm lost in this world of technology and am barely holding my head above water. Thank the Good Lord for LR, otherwise I would have drowned years ago.
