Most retailers like Newegg just sell MB and CPU combos.

Last time I checked, they sell all computer hardware.

I need that plus memory.

You should know what memory goes with your system if you are
homebuilding. If you are that unsure, try your local CompUSA.

Who has a good site where you can build what you need?

Here in this group.

Newegg is the most technically advanced online computer hardware
merchant. I'd rather there be more than one outstanding online
merchant for computer hardware, but Newegg is it. Their search
engine is the best, bar none. I had to cancel an item in an order
at Newegg, and to my pleasant surprise the cancellation process
was entirely automated. In my opinion, when adding something to
my cart it should not take me to another page. They should see
that by the percentage of times shoppers use the back button. But
that IMO is a small negative.

Nobody "knows" what memory goes in their system, that's absurd.

Semantics.

You
pick a MB you like and then find the memory that goes in it by
looking at the manufacturer site

Newegg provides a direct link to the manufacturer's product page.

or going to the memory manufacturer you like
and finding out which of their memories goes in it. Same for the
processor.

Or..

Use the BETTER answer that the other gentlemen gave which was what
I was looking for. Go to Mwave, pick a MB, then, from the pull
down list the memory and processor that goes in it. A LOT easier.

Maybe.

What is it about this business that attracts the self righteous
with their "your too stupid to be doing this" answers?

Your original post sounds like you were lost without being told what
memory goes with the mainboard. I suggest you ask here instead of
using a bot to solve your configuration problems.

And, as is usually the case, they're the ones with the wrong
answer.
