Guys, is all the stuff in the Excel document compatible? If not, can someone tell me? All the prices were taken from http://www.megapc.com ! Prices are in Canadian dollars $$! (Hope you guys don't mind hosting this 17 KB Excel document!)

That's how Canada is...Is the DDR RAM OK?...I think the motherboard comes with a on-board sound, firewire, USB 2.0, and on-board LAN as well, am I right?

Guys, I just checked with the guy at the store, and this is what he sent me:

Asus P4PE-L i845PE s478 533FSB w/ sound

Intel P4 2ghz 512k pga478 Northwood Box

onboard 32bit 3D sound stereo

256mb pc2700 DDR

A-TOP 8310SL-AL05-B Mid-Tour pIV 350 Watts ATX

Maxtor 80gb 7200rpm ATA/133

1.44mb Floppy Drive

ATI 64mb A-I-W Radeon 7500 DDR

LG 52x CD-Rom Int Ide OEM

LG 52x/24x/52x Int IDE oem

Thermaltake Volcano 7+ w/Fan Control

All this for $1 248.02 Canadian! Its better than the one I posted above, except I have less RAM which I will add after...

One you should consider is getting 512MB of RAM insted of 256. It might cost more but belive me, Win XP + photoshop + UT2003 etc. = RAM usage! ... I have been running on 256 for 2 months and I don't find it to be enough - ordered 256MB more just yesterday.

The rest looks ok ... but overpriced ...

...Ur current setup is a p4 1.7 GHZ correct?

Ur not gonna get much of a performance increase.

Especially since ur using less ram.

Stick with wat u've got and just upgrade the proc.

Or replace the heatsing + Fan and OC the proc.

...except I have less RAM which I will add after...

Didn't I say I would add more RAM? speedz, my Dell sucks right now. I have 256 MB RAM, 40 GB, and a 1.7 GHz processor...My Dell has no more 5.25" slots, so I can't add a burner. So, what do you suggest I do, buy a new computer !? I think I'm gonna go for it, but first look at some more prices...

Just a reminder, I LIVE IN CANADA!

//edit: Assembly is included in the price !

So do I.

Excaliber PC ships to canada.

They pay import duties i think.

But for the 2100+ tbred & Assus A7n8x combo i'm gonna order, it's gonna cost 20 bucks for ground shipping...
