Hi Folks,
My motherboard died last week, i am now limping on a loaner oldschool rig from the olden days, lol.
I found a barebones kit on geeks.com http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=A-A7-320-K1&cat=CLR&cpc=CLR which has about 90 o/o of what i need. I am not a gamer at all, but a media head.
The kit doesn't come with a processer & i need advise on which one to buy, and where to get the best price. I can't seem to find any info on which exact processer is the best one for this mother board. here is the paragraph of info on the motherboard. I would like to go with a pentium 4 if that makes scense.
"This Biostar I945P-A7 socket 775 ATX Motherboard makes a entry point for this Socket 775 barebones system! The Biostar I945P-A7 motherboard is based on the Intel 945P / ICH7R chipset with support for socket 775 Intel Pentium 4/Celeron D processors with 533/800/1066 MHz Front Side Bus and support for Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. Four DIMM sockets support up to 4 GB of memory. Key features include Realtek RTL8110S - 10/100/1000 Controller, Realtek ALC882 8+2 Channel HD Audio Codec. and Support RAID: 0,1, 0+1. There is plenty of room for expansion and adding high performance video cards with its three PCI slots, one PCI Extreme slot, two PCI x1 slots, and one PCI x16 slot. Start your system off right with this Biostar I945P-A7 socket 775 ATX Motherboard!"
Thanks for any help.
