build box for 3 platforms
Hi everyone.
I am a developer who is not commited to any particular platform though I like Unix best. This will be the seventh machine I have built, I want my new one to be able to run Windows XP, Tiger on the Mac and Unix. Not asking for too much really.... This is the kit I am thinking of putting together,
ECS KN1 SLI Motherboard Skt 939 nForce4 SLI 2000FSB DDR400 Sound LAN ATX
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHz Microprocessor - Venice core, HyperTransportTM technology, SSE3, 512K Cache
1GB DDR 400 MHZ
HDD 160GB, Samsung, SerialATA, 7200, 8192k
GeForce 6600LE SLI Ready Video Card, 256MB,128bit, PCI Express
ATX 350W case + powerSupply 350W
NEC Black DVDRW
Do people think this will work? Obviously budget is an issue. If I could make some savings without sacrificing too much in overall performance, that would be a bonus.
I am shortly to become a dad so i shall be on the hunt for the coolest stuff for ultra newbies! Tips please!
