I'm going to be getting a copy of Vista Home.
I want to know if these parts are compatible or not, I am aware that I must alter the BIOS to have my mother board properly recognize the RAM.
Should I get a sound card? Is the onboard audio for this mother board acceptable?
Is my power supply adequate? Is it adequate to run two HD 3870s in a crossfire configuration at a later date?
Thank you for any help offered, I sincerely appreciate taking time on a totally uninformed person such as myself.
