AMD Upgrade
Following my recent post about AMD upgrades, the following components fit
the budget. Any comments regarding CPU/Mobo/graphics much appreciated! CPU either AMD (Venice) 90nm Athlon 64bit 3500 32/64Bit CPU S939 or AMD Athlon 64 3200 32/64Bit CPU S939 "Venice" 90nm Mobo either Gigabyte K8N SLI - nForce4 SLI or Asus - ASUS SKT-939 A8N5X S/L PCI-E 2000MT and for graphics either Xpertvision Geforce6600 512MB PCI Express TV-Out DVI-I or Gigabyte Geforce 6200TC, 350/550Mhz, 128MB(Turbo cache to 256MB), PCIEx16 I plan on using 4 x 256 2700 DDR from the current machine. This is not a gaming machine but looking at putting together a reasonable performance machine which will last a year or two! TIA Geoff

TIA Geoff If its just a "reasonable performance machine..." / no gaming, why not ise one of the new Gigabyte or Asus motherboards with a GeForce 61XX chipset and integrated video? Memory speed might hurt the video a little, hopefully you could overclock the memory to 166 or a little higher.

TIA Geoff "I plan on using 4 x 256 2700 DDR from the current machine" You will slow down your machine this way.At least on a nforce4 board. If you plan on web browsing and some office apps plus some photo editing it will suffice many years. The xp3200-venice is better when overclocking,so you should take the xp3500-venice since you will not overclock your system. Ok,my extraction from your options : AMD (Venice) 90nm Athlon 64bit 3500 32/64Bit CPU S939 Asus - ASUS SKT-939 A8N5X S/L PCI-E 2000MT Xpertvision Geforce6600 512MB PCI Express TV-Out DVI-I The other components in the second pc build which will be cheaper overall.
