I'm looking to upgrade my current system, so I receive the parts at around Xmas time:
Current System:
AMD Athlon 750Mhz
256mb PC100
Gigabyte GIXE
AOpen TNT 2 Model 64 (32mb)
20gig hd
250W PSU
These are the parts that I want to replace, I want to keep the case, cd drives, sound card, etc.
What do you suggest for UNDER £500?
So far, I was thinking of the following (all prices inc VAT):
- I've searched dabs.com, scan.co.uk, ebuyer.com, crucial.com:
AMD *Retail* Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67 GHz) with AMD H/S/F 3 Yrs Warranty - £93.06 (Scan.co.uk)
512Mb PC2700 DDR Memory (Major) - £108.10 (Scan.co.uk)
DabsValue GeForce 4 Ti4600 - £176.25 / OR PNY GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB DDR AGP RP VO DVI - £105.75 (dabs.com)
As for mobo, hdd, and PSU could you recommened anything?
MOBO: PC2700, USB2
HDD: 80 Gig - as fast as I can get - ATA133, 8mb cache?
PSU: more than enough power, cheap, quiet.
What do you think? Should I go with a P4 instead? Should I wait for the XP 2400+, 2600+, 2800+ ?
