Hey everyone, its been a while since my last post but I need some help. My firend is looing to upgrade his old socket A computer and give a fresher look. He will mainly be using this for apps, so he will still stick with his hdds and cd roms and such.
we need:
cpu
motherboard
power supply (found)
case (found)
We were looking into skt 939 3800+ x2 , but can't locate them anywhere. We wanted to go this route because then he can use his ddr ram instead of upgrading to ddr2 ram. we are on a limited budget here so no extravegant crap .
one cheaper alternative if we need to go ddr2 was this

still has the dual core flair for a nice price. but that means upgrading to ddr2 , so its all up into debate.
i guess what i need is some definitive proof to show him on what is a good deal.
it looks like a decent deal
about 150ish for motherboard and cpu.
