HELP? D: Hardware purchasing assignment

Submitted by mizleah on Mon, 21/12/2009 - 1:54pm
For computers class, we have to purchase a new computer part by part from the internet (and then write a report on it). SO THE PROBLEM IS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. D: It was due last Friday, so I really gotta get it done, too. XD I bought a monitor, RAM, operating system, and keyboard. I also got the motherboard: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5325311&CatId=4725 Now I just need a hard drive, but I'm not sure if the type has to be UDMA/133, UDMA/100, or UDMA/66 (that's what it says in my motherboard's specifications). All the other motherboards don't specify hard drive type though. I'm a little confused... help? Also, if anyone can explain what all those specifications are, that would be super helpful. Oh and I'm designing it to suit a photographer's needs. I have a $1000 budget, including peripherals and the operating system. And I have to buy it from Canadian sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated! <3

Not 100% but I think they were used during the times of IDE hard drives --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].
