at long last i have left the realms of Socket 939!!! after saving for a house, wedding and lots of other stuff i got the time and money to upgrade!!!
The main thing with the whole upgrade was budget and i think i have done pretty well for my £170 i had saved up
New machine is now most likely to a lot of people on here a bit old hat, but i am REALLY impressed with the performance gain over the AMD X2
The main thing with the whole upgrade was budget and i think i have done pretty well for my £170 i had saved up. I already had a Zalman 550w PSU, 3850 Pro XturboIII and a SATA DVD-R drive
specs are:
E2160 @3ghz - £22 from a friend
IP35 Pro XE - £44.99 on the Bgrade section!!!!!....everything was in the box and still sealed
4GB OCZ GOLD DDR800 - £34.49
WD Blue 640GB HDD - £49.49
Gigabyte Aurora 3d - £30 from a mate
Freezer 7 PRO - £5 from a mate
£185.97
Then a colleague at work kindly gave me a £20 OCuk voucher as a wedding present = £165.97
