Computer CPU Processor Question

[veg1992]

If you budget is around $300 and you only need Ram, CPU and motherboard then I suggest these parts

INTEL Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz FSB1333MHz 4M LGA775 Retail BX80557E6550 CPU Retail at ZipZoomfly
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P31-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P31 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

and for the OS you can always borrow it from a friend or get it the "other" way...

What is this "other" way you speak of?

er... i can't really say... its sorta against the rules... but if i showed you the rule... you'd figure it out...]

5) Keep Things Legal
Any discussion, links, or information on hacking, cracking, serial numbers, pirating, warez, or any other illegal matters is not allowed.

Well, if you'd like you can always email me this "other" method. But before I go do something that's not entirely legal, I will check with a couple people to see if they have a copy of XP...
