| 193751 | 2003-11-30 14:15:00 | the motherboard is more important than the cpu which is easy to replace later on and isnt so important for stabilty, overall performance of PC etc and a duron is fine as a start if budget is tight | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 193752 | 2003-11-30 16:34:00 | I don't know what part of NZ you are in but I recently went to the Penrose computer flea market in Auckland (sat mornings 9-12) and bought an upgrade box - New case - 400w power supply, motherboard, athlon 2000xp, 256mb of pc2700 ram, all installed, for $500. Beats the hell out of trying to buy all the bits yourself. | Octavian. (4897) | ||
