okMy mate would like to up grade his computer, so this is what he needs:

Mobo (must be PCI-E)
CPU
RAM
HDD (150gb at least ...)

His budget is £200, is that possible? Also he know hes wants and AMD, but i know the AM2 has jsut be realeased, how are they looking?

thanks

EDIT- Also he will be building in his Dell dimension case (yes super cool :rolleyes:

) , now is taht a mATX case or a normal ATX??

he changed it to some generic one coz he added a PCI graphics card, toa 500W , would that be enuff?

sorry for double post, any 1 know how these AM2 3000+ performs?

Runningkid · 26 May 2006 at 21:25

oh ... so would this be a bottle neck, if say ... he got a 7600GS or something?

ok cool, but how about the DDR2 ?? is that much faster than the normal DDR??

i will try and persuade him to get a smaller HDD ...
