Ok, I'm getting about $650 US soon, so I'm gonna upgrade my pc. I'm gonna get a new motherboard, a new graphics card, and 1gb of ram, and a new case(for my graduation pc, and here's where I stand:
I don't know of any really good socket 478 mobos out there, most of em are discontinued. I'm thinking an MSI Neo2, or a asus p4p800se. I hear one of the p4p800's, I think its the deluxe, will fry if you connect the front usb ports to it.
Graphics card's gonna be an x1600pro, because the price/performance is pretty good.
I'm gonna buy the black antec p180, along with a new heatsink, maybe the xp90c.
as far as RAM goes...well I'm not sure. I don't want 200 dollar ram sticks like corsair XMS or something like that, I want something down the middle, preferably 150 or less, and in dual channel kits(2x512mb)
....and IF I have some money left over, I want to find a 2.4A prescott cpu, if anyone has one that they'd be willing to get rid of, I might buy it off of em, or if a store has one for a really good price, I'll look into it.
So, if you guys could, gimme some suggestions on the things that I'm not too sure about.
