It's time to replace my old P3 600MHz machine. My main interest is in "bang for the bucks", longevity and upgradeability. I will probably stick with Intel for no major reason other than its what I have now.
Here is what I think will give me what I want.
Processor:
P4 630 = 3.0GHz 64 bit capable
L2 = 2MB
FSB = 800MHz
Board:
Intel D925XCV (or equivelent)
ATX
10-100-1000 integrated
Memory:
DDR2 SDRAM @ 533MHz = 1GB
Hard Drives:
SATA, 7200rpm, 160 to 200 GB = 2ea
DVD +/- R/RW DL:
Plextor PX-716A
DVD-ROM
Yet to be decided
3.5 Floppy Drive
Possibly with card reader
Video Card:
Good but moderatly priced
(ATI RADEON X300?)
Sound Card:
Good but moderatly priced
(SB AUDIGY 2?)
Case:
????
Power Supply:
???? (450 watts?)
Added cooling for the case???
Any comments, suggestions or... especially suggestions concerning the case and power supply would be apreciated.
TIA
