Yes, as long as your case has sufficient air flow and you won't overclock.

I always buy retail versions of CPU because of 3 year warranty vs 1 for OEM.

I'm buying the retail one then. Also I am getting a better fan then the one that comes with retail.

Does anybody know how to move this thread?

What???? How??? When??? but..but..???

LOL Jay and Jet, thanks for the chuckles. You guys just put a bright spot in a dreary day for me.

Now, I don't know how you, personaly, can move this thread. I think HTC can do it for you. However, it is probably easier to just start a new thread in the hardware forum.

Wish I knew more about this stuff to help you out, but I am pretty much a dolt in the computer department.

Hope you get sorted out, and are up and running in AHII soon though.

Cheers,
RTR

OK, I got the retail 2.8E but I found out that fan sucks, so Click Here to see my new fan, I think it would work really good

Snapperhead it will run ah2 thats all I care about.

Why not ditch the Intel chip, get an AMD chip and a better motherboard.

jetb123 · « **Reply #40 on:** June 18, 2004, 11:27:04 PM »

Dont have money. Plus i dont want to wait to log before getting ah2 already knowing that everybody there has more experence than me.

Amd is cheaper than Intel. Just a heads up.

jetb123 · « **Reply #42 on:** June 18, 2004, 11:30:15 PM »

It is well than I might look into it but if I do go amd. Can I keep the same fan that I got know. Its the one jay just put on link. And somebody was telling me intel was better than AMD.

You do know you are missing HD/CD-DVD/Input (KB-Mouse)/Monitor, yes? I'm guessing you are going to transplant these from your current system?

That system should run AH2 just fine IF that lowball Mobo and Case don't fry. $28 for a 400W PS and case? My Antec 1080 case and 430W PS cost 4X that (you get what you pay for)! Unless you like problems look to quality parts when you build. You might want to concider AMD processor/Mobo for more power at the same price, look at Antec cases, ASUS/ABIT/GIGABYTE mobos etc...

Let me know if I can help you with your build, its what I do...

THanks, I know nothing about AMD:confused: please help me. Also i'm saving money by using my old stuff. I may upgrade the HD though only 20 gig, but i only have Aces High on it.
