    My setup

    This probably isn't anything special, but what do you think to the following:

    Athlon xp 2700+
    Gigabyte nforce2 board
    512mb DDR ram
    Maxtor diamondmax 120gb 7200rpm
    Asutek 52r 52w 24rw
    Radeon 9600 128mb ddr agp 8x
    Englight case & 300w psu
    21" monitor


    The new setup comes to about £580, excluding soundcard, monitor, keyboard etc. I didn't think the 2800+ was worth the slight extra performance for £30...

    first skip the 2700 and get the 2500+ the extra L2 cache is worth it, and upgrade your vcard to a 9700 pro or non pro its your choice, and i would get a gig of ram, but thats just me

    Athlon64X2 4400+
    2gb corsair xms
    dfi lanparty (1.375v fixed ram issues)

    Make sure you ditch that cheapo PSU and pick up at least a 350 watt Enermax or Antec

    Re: My setup

    >>Athlon xp 2700+

    2500+ Barton

    >>Gigabyte nforce2 board

    Abit NF-7 is much better mobo.

    >>512mb DDR ram

    two, 256mb sticks

    >>Radeon 9600 128mb ddr agp 8x

    9500 Pro (if you can still find one, or 9700 non-Pro

    >>Englight case & 300w psu

    NO WAY. Get an Antec SX635II or SX835II, both come with a good PSU.

    Have fun building!
