Hi,
I want to build a pc i have a budget of £600 roughly $960 to build a computer (already got the monitor). I was thinking an AMD chip 1.5ghz, 32mb/64mb Graphics (Ge force or nvida), 256mb ram (dont know what type), cd rw, DVD, floppy drive, sound card (can not think of any decent makes), mobo, lots of usb ports, it would be good if it could have a 7200rpm Hdd over 40gig and a case / tower for it
I have no interest in buying a ready made pc my son wants to make it with his friend but i need compatible parts etc.
sorry i sort of tailed off towards the end getting more and more general if you guys can think ofaanything else i would be grateful
Main idea is that it will be a work / gaming machine BUT not broadband and not networked so i wont need a 10/100mbs port
I could do with pleanty of PCI ports as my son who will be the main user is contantly wanting more and more bits put in but the last time we upgfraded was 98 so we have a slow computer in todays language
i have software os etc (all lisenced not illegal)
Current pc has
10gig hdd
2 X 64mb ram chips
8mb graphics card
some cheap sound card useless
pentium II 350mhz
win 98se - new pc will have xp
thanks for any help you can give me
