Becuase that's all the budget can spare. The computer is important, but not more important than the bills
What type of memory is that though Shakran? DDR2-8000?
I was trying to figure out last night, and it looked like the system used either 4300 or 5200 ddr ram. Could somebody please tell me what type of memory an intel 506 needs to match it's FSB?
Also, what ATI and GeForce cards are good right now?
I see a
GeForce 6600 for $69.00
or a
Radeon X550 for 65.00
Are either of these any good?
Along with the motherboard, Network card, and HDD above, either of these cards puts me at 500.00 without having a case or operating system.
Is it possible to make a decent system below $500.00 with the motherboard combo I pointed out, or am I just dreaming?
