Before You Assemble Your PC
The following checklist should be completed when you order PC parts to make sure you have enough components to assemble a working PC:
• ATX Case and power supply Note that both the Pentium 4 and Athlon have special power supply requirements, although many new power supplies provide for both of these.
• ATX Motherboard and CPU Socket 421, 478 or 775 for Pentium 4, depending on CPU model for Athlon or P4, Socket 370, or Slot 1 for Pentium III or Celeron.
• RAM RIMM for Pentium 4, 128MB minimum, DDR for Athlon or Duron (DDR support for Pentium 4 is expected in early 2002), for Pentium III / Celeron, 64MB SD (synchronous dynamic)
• Video 2X / 4X AGP adapter with minimum 8MB video RAM (unless the motherboard has integrated video). Make sure the AGP adapter voltage is universal (3.3V or 1.5V) or matches your motherboard requirement.
• Floppy Drive 1.44MB 3.5" floppy drive.
• Hard Drive 40 GB IDE drive or larger, ATA 100 compatible with 80-conductor cable.
• CD/DVD CD-ROM or CD recorder, DVD-ROM or combination CD-RW / DVD-ROM. Any of these can be used to install the operating system form CD.
• Keyboard Keyboard with PS/2 style connector.
