Not looking for anything fancy. Just a budget PC ,but one that uses
relatively good components.
I was thinking of using an Athlon XP3200 . My present PC is using an Athlon
XP1700.
Dont really want to buy parts from all over the place.Any recommendations on
online retailers that still sell a good selection of parts for these CPUs?
WRT graphics cards, in the PC I have at the moment I have a Ge Force 3 Ti
200 .This is more than adequate for my needs ,so something of simialr power
is fine ,but I dont have any idea what to look for,its been a few years
since I took any notice of such things.
Here is what I am looking at
AMD Athlon XP3200+ 400mhz FSB
Abit NF7 V2.0 nForce2 (Wouldnt mind a board with LAN and Firewire ,but can
live without if no recommendation?? )
2 X Crucial CT6464Z40B 512MB DDR 400Mhz (1Gb = Overkill??)
Would I have any problem using bigger HD? I am thinking of 250Gb drive
Thanks for any input
