I am building my father in law a basic computer for X-mas with some spare parts I have lying around:
120 gb wd hd
ecs l7s7a2 mobo
512 mb PC2700 centon
64 mb video card
sony dru 510a dvd +-R
dvd rom
memory card reader
standard floppy drive
either an amd 2500+ barton or Athlon 1.4GHz (Tbird) 200 mghz fsb
My question is which processor should I put in, when looking at the prieces the tbird is much more expensive, but I thought the barton was a better chip any info is appreciated!!!
here are the specs on the tbird:
