Also, is it true some processors can be faster then others even though they could both be 1.8 Ghz? I own a Athlon Xp 2200 1.8 Ghz, and it seems a lot faster then 1.8, I dont know why. And why are other 1.8 more expensive?

Thank you for the help.

Everything is pinned right, memory can be tricky but it is higher spec than the cpu calls for. Most board makers have a recommended memory list. I have never paid any attention to their lists and have always been fine. Others haven't been as lucky as myself.

Everything will plug in, that is not to say for sure everything will work without a hitch. You never, ever have that warranty. By buying certain parts you can up your odds.

Now, after I said all that, the choices you made should work together. I can't promise you it will.:D

That is all in the luck of the draw and is what makes building a PC a challenge. If it were as simple as Lincoln Logs (it almost is) everybody would do it.

I think you'll be fine. ;)

A 2500+ at 1.8 ghz is better because it has twice the L2 cache and is on a Barton core.

The 2800+ you have picked is a Barton with twice the L2 cache of the 2200+. I also think it runs at about 2180 mhz. I am not sure of the speed of the 2800+ and don't feel like looking it up. :D Lazy today.

I thought 2800 was a model number? And whats a cache?
