Ok, tax return time is here and it is time to upgrade the old PII300. I have decided to go with AMD, unless someone can totally convince me otherwise.
Doing a bit of reaseach, I have decided to go with an Asus A7V motherboard with 1Ghz Thunderbird Athlon. Is this a good route to go? I all ready have a 128Mb PC133 SDRAM, but plan on getting another 128. Would it be better to get a different board that supports the newer DDR_SDRAM? Or is the performance increase enough to offset the price difference? If the DDR_SDRAM is the way to go, what board/processor would you all choose?
On top of all that, I also need a new video card. What is the best bang for your buck in the less than $250 range?
Thanks a bunch,
