I built this rig back in 2004 and my motherboard in it just died
Pentium 4 2.4ghz 800mhz FSB 512k L2 cache
MSI motherboard 865pe chipset
120gb western digital SATA drive
512mb ddr400 running dual channel
Video Card: MSI FX 5200 128mb ram
I can't decide which new processor and motherboard to buy.
All I need is something one step above. So which current processor is one step up from a P4 2.4ghz 800FSB? How about those cheap Sempron 64's?
Ideally I'd also like to know which video chipset is one step above an FX5200 also.
I looked at many processors on newegg but inconsistent reviewers make it difficult to discern which CPU is the one to choose if all I want is a modest speed increase.
