524390 2007-02-13 05:46:00 Hi
A neighbour of mine had a failure with his HDD
and he is getting a local shop to upgrade the machine with using some of the existing.
This is what the shop suggested him:
350W Hi Power PSU
NV7100GS 256MB PCI-E
1GBDDR2 533Mhz
AMD Socket AM2 Motherboard
AMD Athlon64 3200+ AM2 CPU
16X DVDR-RW Dual Layer Drive

Any comments, good or bad, about the MB and the CPU?

Thanks

524391 2007-02-13 06:08:00 Would need to know brand / model to comment on anything except that:
A 3200+ seems a bit low. Not much price difference between that and say a 3800+ or even a dual-core.

524392 2007-02-13 06:17:00 looks like they want it to be able to run Vista Home Premium. If that is the goal, I would suggest going with a Geforce 7300 rather than a 7100. Greven (91)
524393 2007-02-13 06:28:00 I would go for a Dual Core Intel CPU and a 775 socket mother board.

Only if it is a Core 2 Duo - pentium D is crap.

524395 2007-02-13 08:07:00 I suppose it all depends on how much they are gonna charge for it. Couple of hundred bucks - bargain. Thousand bucks - ripoff. Tukapa (62)

I will forward it to him and see what he wants to do.

Get a decent PSU.

Find out what BRAND the MB is. That matters more.
