Any suggestions either performance wise or compatability very welcome.

Just wanted to say i think this forums great i've been browsing for a while whilst i decided whether or not i wanted to build my own comp.

I'm presuming 'claimed' is the same as 'reserved' i sometimes use it to reply to a question on other forums, without my answer appearing on like the 3rd page or sumat if its a long one!

The dvd drive does seem a better option, shall swap for that one probably

Soundcards don't reali do much for me just no i hate my current as it dies after 3mins of music and jst crackles! :s
