ok so i guess a fast athlon xp + 512 of that samsung pc2700 would be good?

is samsung ram as good as crucial?

Yes a faster processor is always going to help in those type of categorys like CAD, CAM, Video/Photo Editing and the memory specs you read my mind . If you ask me I think Samsung memory is better then crucial mainly for personal reasons but either on is good. Samsung is the only dealer I know that sells 100% genuwine PC2700 chips and not that OC'ed high ns crap.

how about this? (its not dual processor, that would cost a lot more)

asus a7v333 - $120
athlon xp 1800+ - $97
crucial pc2100 256 mb - $80

total - $297 + shipping

he has $500 to spend, but of course he doesnt want to blow it all if he doesnt have to (as in, xp2100 would be nice, but $115 more for that little performance gain isnt worth it...)


edit:
or...how about samsung pc2700 ram? at newegg, $82 for 256, $155 for 512

Get him as much ram as his mainboard will support. Since he has a budget of 500 you'll be able to at least get a gig of ram. Also make sure his swap file is larger than windows default setting.

a gig? ok ill tell him...2 512 chips should be good...xp shouldnt have any problems w/ that, right?

also whats a good full tower case for the asus motherboard and a good powersupply (350-400 watt)

I believe XP can take 4gb of ram, 1gb is of no concern.

I suggest getting the Antec PLUS880 case, comes with a 430w Antec True Power PSU. Also it has firewire and usb connections in the front of the case, good for hooking up those CAMS.

ok, thanks...would 300 watts (he has a 300watt ps now) be enough to run 3 7200 rpm hard drives, a cd burner,dvd drive, zip drive, and the rest of the system? or would that be pushing it
