well thank you fryguy but i think i was going a little over board. this one is gonna be for my girlfriend but she dont like the price too much  so im gonna have to wait till its my turn for the one i was seeing. ive been looking at boards and cant decide which one would be good for her picture viewing and music downloading but not much of a hassle upgrading later when the time comes. im pretty sure i would like to stick with amd any suggestions. i mean would it be worth it to go sata yet? should i go with 939 still? im stuck need HELP  |
Yep, just like that.
Ah well, we all have our dreams, right? I'd stick to the Athlon 64, but a lower-end one, like the 2800+... she may not need it all now, but it'll last for a good long time since it's 64 bit... you can probably get away with 512MB of RAM, I'd go with SATA since it seems to be the way the industry is headed, I'd get a cheap-o video card (ATI 9550 seems to be a good choice in the sub-$100 range, runs pretty quick for a budget card, for me and one of my roommates), forget the RAID card, you may want to buy a bigger HD to make sure she can hold the videos... You could probably piece a really nice one together for ~$500, plus a monitor...
(Oh, and hi Fister!)
