ok my mates mums nforce 2 board died and my mates wantng her to buy a a64
board on the cheap to replace it the gig of ddr400 mem should work fine with a a64.

so sorted for memory the only prob is the psu is a q-tec (probly why board ****** up) and the graphics card is a agp 5600ultra.

spec a rig as cheap as possible please :)

possibly a graphics card and definatly motherboard processor and psu.

thanks in advance.

Budget?

IMO I'd build new, everything like this...
  • Asus M2NPV-MX (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £44.99 - excellent onboard graphics
  • AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail £54.99
  • Crucial 512MB (2x256MB) DDR2 PC2-4200C4 Dual Channel Kit (CT2KIT3264AA53E) £37.99
  • Samsung SpinPoint P SP0842N 80GB ATA-133 2MB Cache - OEM £24.99 - is it needed?
  • Liteon DVD-8900 16x DVD±RW/RAM (Black) - OEM £15.99 - ditto?
  • Antec NSK4400 Mini Tower Case - 380W SmartPower PSU £46.99
  • Sub Total : £225.94
  • Shipping : £9.95
  • Vat : £41.28
  • Total : £277.17
 
na all we need is a psu a mother board and cpu mainly and the graphics card is optional at the moment and its gotta work with ddr400 so thinking 939 rig :)

basically as cheap as possible its a forced upgrade since the mother board died :P

was gonna tell my m8 to get a dual vsta or sata2 board but we dont see them stocked any more on ocuk.

budget is very very small about 200 at the most.

for the curious heres the thread on where we decided board was ****** :P http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=241801

as far as i know they dont sell any thing so not a competitor link if it is edit it out please :)
