Ok well I was hoping you could help me once again, if not thats fine I know im a
annoyance somtimes.

Looking for a good computer to run Deep Fritz 7; hopefully around 2,200-2,300
kN/s. And everyday things, such as the Internet.

Case: ANTEC Performance PLUS Model PLUS1080AMG- with Antec Original TRUE 430W P4
Power Supply ATX12V Retail (newegg.com. $105.00)

Heatsink: Thermalright SLK-900-A ( Heatsink ONLY ). All Copper heat spread. AMD:
Athlon XP Palamino, Thoroughbred, and Barton 2800+ and up. (newegg.com, $47.99,
x2= $96.00)

Questions:
1.I need 2 Hot sinks right?
2. Which cd/rom drive would you reccomend that will run chess software
adequately?
3. which modem is good for my system? does it matter which 56k I pick from
newegg if i wish to go 56k?
4. Case/watt selection fine for the MB and CPU's?
5. Is all that stuff I listed all compatible with the motherboard? Or should I
go with a MSI K7D Master-L (MS-6501-030) AMD760MPX Dual Athlon 266MHz ATX
MOTHERBOARD With Onboard LAN- RETAIL . Also which is better, not considering
price.

6. Which stuff is trash and should get rid of/or switch to what?
9. I miss anything?

Thanks a ton!!!
