justinlay Posted March 17, 2007 CID Share Posted March 17, 2007 what you could do is just get you a cheap board to get you by for now. When you get enough money saved up, and prices go down. Build yourself a new system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 17, 2007 CID Share Posted March 17, 2007 Most likely you are going to need motherboard, memory, and processor.. Since 754 didn't support DDR2.. The memory is not the fastest that the board supports.. But it will get you started.. CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model VS2GBKIT533D2 - Retail Item #: N82E16820145527 $129.99 ECS 945G-M3 (V3.0) LGA 775 Intel 945G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Item #: N82E16813135032 $15.00 Mail-in Rebate $77.99 Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6300 - Retail Item #: N82E16819115005 $183.00 All of this for about $390.. As long as you have a decent GPU you should be set.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODBXXX Posted March 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 17, 2007 What is better sempron or the athlon? I can get a mobo and processer for 108.00 bucks i have a AMD athlon 64 3000+ which one should i put in? this is the combo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135192 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819104231 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 18, 2007 CID Share Posted March 18, 2007 Athlon is AMD's flag ship.. Kinda like Pentium is Intels.. The only thing that I would caution against as far as what you are trying to do here.. there is going to be a point that you will not be able to upgrade on the 754 platform... As it stands right now the 939 is in the process of being phased out, leaving the 754 and the AM2.. The original idea, or from what I have read, was that all new processors would be developed for the AM2.. Leaving the 754 for the Sempron and other budget CPUs..
