14- and 15-year-olds may be employed outside of school hours for a maximum of 3 hours per day and 18 hours per week when school is in session and a maximum of 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week when school is not in session. This age group is prohibited from working before 7 a.m. and after 7 p.m., except during summers when they may work until 9 p.m. (from June 1 through Labor Day).

this from a website with the federal laws

post a link to it. It would be helpful. And even though those are the laws, most company's don't seem to want to hire someone that is 15 so it's not like it matters.

just google child labor laws all employers should know them but you can start working at 14 just its not likely also state laws differ but here they are the same an employer told me the same thing when i asked for a job would have one but they just filled it

guess what. Dad says he will fund me to build a comp for school.
Like around $1000 bucks I think.
So I am getting the ASUS P5WD2, the 3.0Ghz P4, A 6600Gt video card.
I need help picking it out. Which do you all prefer and which is the best.
this power supply

this case

and probaly this memory but I could go cheaper
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820145586
I am not sure about the Hard drive.
What do you all think?
It will make for a great overclock. I don't think he will buy any fans for me or any cooling. Plus the RAM is pretty costly.

right so he's giving u 1000 and u have how much to spend of ur own...?

which Asus P5WD2 board r u looing at .....?

that case is soso i wouldnt like the fact that it only has a 80mm rear fan.

that rams funny DDR2 (PC2-8000) i didnt know they made that stuff...im using DDR2 400(PC2-3200)

um 250gb seagate (thats the same one me and rice have i think)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822148065

and still depending on funds it may be nice to have a 10,000 rpm raptor drive to go with it.

Power ....the one u have picked does have a 33amp 12volt but theford says go with Antec or Enermax

that about dvd burner...do u already have a LCD or CTR....

and y the hell would u get a 6600gt if the board u may get has the chance for a duel 7800??

and if it doesnt the y go with the P4 y not a P D...?

see it be easyer to tell u stuff if u had the right mobo picked out

Edit i was wrong its DDR2 533

is the mobo. I think newegg made a mistake on the RAM because I think they meant DDR2 800 and not DDR2 (Pc2 8000) lol. I don't want a Pentium D because I hear they suck for an overclock and that they still have bugs. I like the 6600gt just fine because it will pretty much runs the max on all games withut having to worry. I hear that the 7800 needs an pci-e and a pci port right next to each other just for one so I can't run one anyway. Plus that is overkill. I will probaly get that hard drive. Did you get yours OEM or retail?

I really think the psu will have enough power for the overclock I want and the 6600GT. The case is very sexy and I like the fan in the back. I already have a CRT.

Dad has decide on only $300 for a build but He wants me to buy a Fukking Dell and I will not let him. Used at that. He is cheap. I guess by christmas I will have atleast $1000 dollars saved up. I already have $450 and I still have to pay for school so I guess it might be a month atleast before I start even ordering parts.

08aisaac · Post by **08aisaac** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 8:13 pm

plus the damn mobo has a damn pci-e x4. WTF I don't even know what regular pci-e ports are for except scsi cards.

Lexon Avery · Post by **Lexon Avery** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 10:39 pm

the PCI-e 4x and 16x r for the duel cards... u could go with a duel 6800 with that as well (6600gt's will not run battlefield 2 on high ask FORD i was there lol)

OEM on the HDD i think. Dell's aretn that bad if u cant get them good and cheap like my PC after a shampoo load of discounts was 1,100 and then i put 235 bucks more into it.

Why would there be a need to overclock a P D...? lol the thing would be great.
And im still a bit Iffy on that RAM

u r going with a leadtec TV tunrer right... these things r the greats 50 bucks ive spent. (but i think that the FCC or whatever r going to make them illegal to sell come mid next month)

u pay for school.....?? thats lance bass

08aisaac · Post by **08aisaac** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 11:02 pm

no tvtuner except maybe an upgrade. and that RAM is crazy isn't it.
I am just sticking with the 630 that seems good. I have to pay $250 per semester for the school. not much but still. Mom would rather me go to school then get a computer. Who knew. I will just stick withthe 6600GT for now and upgrade when I get a job. I guess i will just wait.

Lexon Avery · Post by **Lexon Avery** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 12:04 am

oh but Tv tuners r great lol

id still go with DDR2 800 max out that mobo but yeah no that ram its crazy!?!?!?!

where the heck u going to school...?

This is the link for my school and that is pretty much all I know. If I get that RAM I will never have to get better atleast for years becauseunless i hit a fsb1600+ it should be fine. lol. I don't have cable so a tvtuner card will be pretty useless. with a 630 do you think I could hit 4.0Ghz on air. I will spend around $100 on air cooling. lol.

Lexon Avery · Post by **Lexon Avery** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:13 pm

630....just say the dam core speed i dont knwo that off the top of my head

most liekly a 3.4 would max at like 3.8 i think or maybe 4 idk

08aisaac · Post by **08aisaac** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 11:18 pm

the 630 is 3.0Ghz but I see screen shots of it running at like 3.8 on air and I don't remember the voltage but it was stable. I won't even overclock at first because I probaly will have stock heatsink and fan and whatever comes with the case.
