Just got a audiotrak prodigy hd2 VIA envy sound card, HR-01 heatink with 423 mounts and a 1.9ghz 423 p4. All this recent buying and I still have a little left over from what I sold out of my dual 1366 system. EDIT: And yes I'm replacing a dual 1366 system with a 423 system.

I never see much anything here when it comes to sk423. I know it sucks, but parts are cheap and my experience with them is rather good.

I had the same drive in 2k system and it read both cds and pd fine so I betting I need a driver? The drivers I have only work …

Take the old ram out and count the pins or post a photo. If it has 30pins then you got the right ram most likely
