You have until 8am central time...

Hello all,

I'm upgrading a previous system for my fiance`, and I need some quick advice.

All that is being saved from the donor machine will be, DVD+/-RW, CD-RW, TV Capture, ZIP-100, 40GB HDD, Floppy.

I will be purchasing a new AMD Proc/Mobo/Ram, hoping that the mobo has Video/Sound/Nic/USB2.0.

I will need at LEAST 512MB ram.

What kind of mobo/chip combos are well liked around here?

I was guessing an XP2000 chip, Asus mobo w/ onboard everything, a nice case with >300W P.S.

Any suggestions? You have unil 8am tomorrow.

Oh, and I want to keep the price at or around $250-275

No gaming PC, but it'll get the job done. The total is $227 before shipping.

That looks good Lasereth however I would suggest getting the 2500(+$23) with matching ram(+$4) to get some more perfomance. Of course it isn't necessary if you are not gaming. Which the video card suggests.

$98.00 - Crucial 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-2700 - OEM

$80.00 - AMD Athlon XP 2500+ "Barton", 333 FSB, 512K Cache Processor - Retail

That would bring you up to $252.00.
Shipped inside the US is $15 bringing you to $ 267.00

Not sure about the processor... you won't NEED the 2500, but it will provide a little more longevity in the machine. Up to you. Otherwise, that hardware looks good.

Yeah, I too would go with the 2500. Even if you dont think you will need it, for the price, you cant go wrong. Its only a bit more expensive than the 2000.
