Update:
Tried what U suggested NO DICE!
Someone mentioned the old ram I have not being compatible.
Why didnt I think of ram compatibility??? Doh...!
I contacted Crucial and they spec'd me
1GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400 memory module
CT12864AA800
Module Size: 1GB
Package: 240-pin DIMM
Feature: DDR2 PC2-6400
Specs: DDR2 PC2-6400 • CL=6 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-800 • 1.8V • 128Meg x 64 •
As compatible with the Q9650. So I'm gonna get four of those and fire her up..
But I now have reservations about the graphix card too so
I am checking with NVIDIA for Gcard compatability.
If you have any info on this I would appreciate a heads up. :)
