maiden fan,
You are welcome for the help. I am running an AMD 2400+, with 1 gb DDR400
ram, Radeon 9600 and Soundblaster Audigy 2. I am able to play games, like
Doom3, Half Life, Call of Duty and many more, at 1280 x 1024 with do
problems. I am also able to record video or write DVD's while running other
programs, with do problems. I think that maybe your psu is a little under
powered. Good luck and let me know how the new motherboard and cpu work out.
