I have some money to upgrade my system and I was wondering if this config would work OK. My mean concern is the Gigabyte mobo. It's very cheap and looks quite good on paper:
Gigabyte GA-8IE(845E)
Aopen miditower with lownoise 300W powersupply
Pentium IV 1700
2x DDR 256MB
Matrox G450 32Mb
Maxtor UDMA66 20GB(system)5400 rpm
IBM Deskstar UDMA100 80GB 7200 rpm
PulsarI
2x Luna II
I have the disks in my AMD system, so don't tell me they won't do....
Best regards,
Marc

OK, but sorry, one point:
The board supports AGP 4x ONLY, so the Matrox cannot be used.
Happy pulsaring

Im not sure a 300W PSU, is gonna be sufficient to power all that stuff, try something like a 365+ watt enermax instead, antec also make good supplies as well.

Hey, the G450 does 2x/4x AGP. Mine's at AGP 4x...

I'd get rid of the deathstar if I were you. I mean, our time in audio files is worth a lot to us, and a harddrive is about $100 . . .

The Deathstar is still working(knock on wood), but Remixme was right about the powersupply. All the time I had asio-overload messages, unexplainable clicking sounds, midi-error messages, slow controllerdata transfer. The system was only workable with a latency of 7ms @44.1k. Then I changed the original A-open"330Watt" for an Antec TruePower 330 and all the error are gone and the system is steady as a rock with a latency of 3ms @44.1k!
