Ok.....im making the move from amd to intel......

Just bought the evga nforce 680i mobo as a base....

Already got a bfg geforce 8800 gtx....

600w PSU

All the drives....

Now jus cpu and ram.....on a major budget.....so got the cheapest DDR2 in here (for now....i wont be using it long)......which was a 1gb stick of PC4200, made by samsung (533mhz)......its gonna be poor, no need to tell me.....

As for cpu I bought the cheapest core 2 duo money can buy (the E6300) in hope of getting the quadro when some more cash comes my way....and I've heard its good fun to overclock them.....

What should I be able to get out of this going by the other kit....i know memory is going to be a mildly limiting issue.....
 
Not booting at all.....

Built it all, and it just aint booting....ive checked everything......

Its either a faulty mobo or that RAM...

Board is coming up with error 1d which in the manual says: Early PM Early PM initialization.....me = lost..........

And I cant even register for support on evga's website as the serial number isnt in their database....sucky board for £211 quid tbh.....
