Looking at the clips shown in the pictures on the website, http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/volcano/rs/a1725.htm, I think it should fit. (That is the correct heatsink isnt it?)

You might also want to look at the Zalman 7000 alcu I used it on my last build (P4 2.8C) and it worked well. And yes they are adaptable to AMD's chips. It is very quiet and cools really well.

thanks bill i called a pc store, to ask a pc super store lol. Tc computers, ( now now no hissing hehe ). Or at least keep the hissing down to a mimumim.

here is the list i ordered should be here in 3 days.

CPU FAN AMD|EXT VOLCANO-12 A1745 RT (Qty=1,Price=$42.99)
CPU THERMPASTE|ARCTIC SILVER5 3.5G% (Qty=1,Price=$7.49)
CPU AMD|2500 /333 ATHLON XP BARTON% (Qty=1,Price=$75.00)
CASE MOD|CLD CATHODE KIT CALIBR02 (Qty=1,Price=$8.00)
DDRAM 512MB|64X64 VS DDR400 COR% (Qty=1,Price=$83.00)

Subtotal:$216.48
TAX:$.00
Shipping and Handling Charge**:$10.00
Total:$226.48

only thing i may be worried about is the ram. ? whats 64x64 mean?

Stobe · Post by **Stobe** » Thu Jul 08, 2004 1:24 am

It's probably the external organisation of the memory module. 64 Mbits * 64 bits = 4096 Mbits, divide that by 8 and you get the size in Megabytes -> 512.

maybe you should get another stick of memory, the NF chipset supports Dual channel DDR. MORE POWER!

DerekDRP · Post by **DerekDRP** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 7:30 pm

holo then bro you going to fork $80 over

I quite didnt have enough to get another stick ( i tried ) I still need a vid card and another stick of ram ( but this ram is not duel channel ) ram.

BCN · Post by **BCN** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 8:16 am

there is no dual chanel ram there are chipsets that support dual chanel memory.

any memory which is the same size and configuration (eg. 16x64M, 64x64M etc...) will work in dual chanel.

lol, sorry bro, but I'm broke too... and I still have unpaided tuition

whoever said that money can't buy happiness, obviously never went to college and want new toys at the same time.

Stobe · Post by **Stobe** » Wed Jul 14, 2004 12:57 am

Heh, agreed to 100 %... I bet money COULD buy happiness, if there was any, in my pocket right now

BCN · Post by **BCN** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 7:54 pm

there IS a difference between a satisfaction and happiness

Holodeck2 · Post by **Holodeck2** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 1:22 am

what the heck are you talking about?
happiness leads to satisfaction
satisfaction is a bucket and happiness is the water that fills the bucket, once the happiness is overflowing over the edges then your are satisfied
so they're different and yet, they're the similar

some people might argue that money only buys temporary happiness but then technically if you had an endless supply of money then you'd be happy forever!! well, at least I would be.

What if you have a hole in your bucket?

Happiness...

I always think of: One man's ceiling, is another man's floor.

My waterbed sprung a leak...did all my happiness leak out???
Is that what happened?
My wife said I was just getting older.

Holodeck2 · Post by **Holodeck2** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 8:45 pm

if the satisfaction bucket spring a leak then you try to get some more happiness in there FAST! and fill it up, then move on to a new bucket of satisfaction, a new purpose in life.

I think you tried to get too much satisfaction on the waterbed and it just couldn't handle the overflowing happiness being dumped into it so sadly, all the happiness leaked out

patch it back and start from the begining

davd_bob · Post by **davd_bob** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 10:54 pm

Actually she drug me into the smallish next room and dunked my head in that "special" bucket in there.

Her satisfaction AND happiness now seem to be restored, My head however is stuck.

HELP

DerekDRP,
Congrats on a great looking setup.
May you find it satisfying to persue your happiness. I know for the last 20 years I have and Im not talking about water and empty buckets here.

Did the flame decal on the front come with the case or did you get that somewhere?
