Jigsaw puzzle for the New Years long weekend.

Just brought assorted pieces for a new computer.

Bits purchased:

  • AMD Phenom II x4 965 CPU (3.4 GHz),

  • ASUS M4A87TD EVO motherboard,

  • 4GB DDR3 memory (2 sticks of 2GB, shop didn't stock 4G sticks, I asked),

  • Antec case (Noted on the way out that it didn't have a power supply. First time I've ever borough a case that didn't come with a power supply in situ!)

  • 500W power supply.


Hope I got a video card new enough to be backward compatible with the motherboard. That's the only potential issue I can see.

Have a 1TB SATA hard disk on the shelf already.

Going to load Ubuntu 10.10 on it.

I love this jigsaw stuff, should do it often enough.
