Hi, I am having a pc built for me as I am just starting out as a graphic/web designer and have been given the list of parts that have been purchased for it. I was looking at the technical info and it said something about not being compatable with 32bit I have listed the parts below, can anyone please tell me if they will all be ok together as this is the first time I that I am getting one built, one day, hopefully I will be able to build my own!! and if there will be a problem with it then I would rather say something before its built rather than after when problems might start occuring. any advice would be much appreciated

I cannot see where any of that hardware is NOT 32 bit compatible. I looked the MB up on the Abit website and can find no mention of this. I downloaded the Abit IP35 user manual and can find nothing there. I also cannot find anything on the BFG video card.

What i do see is that if you are going to run the 32 bit system you will NOT be able to see all of the memory. Windows will limit you to around 3.2 Gigs unless there have been some changes in Vista. A second thing is that your power supply could be pushed to the limit. I would prefer a Seasonic, or PC power & Cooling Power Supplys in the 500-650 watt range. They cost around $100, but are well worth the prices for their better quality.
