  • Last thread about me buying a PC, I promise!

    I am thinking about upgrading my PC. Using information from previous posts I have decided to go for either the AMD Athlon 700+Mhz range, or the Intel equivalent.

    As far as I can see, AMD would appear to be the cheaper option, but one that would require purchasing both a new motherboard and power supply unit/case.

    As I have a PII 300Mhz processor already, I could buy an Asus / Abit board and keep the chip until the prices of CPUs have dropped, and I have more money.

    1) AMD or Intel?
    2) Which motherboard?
    3) Recommended price band?

    Points to consider:
    1) I have limited expenditure, say £400 sterling
    2) I don’t care what OS I install as long as I have OGL support
    3) I am in the UK

    Cheers,

    Patrick (system specs to follow)

        Well, that taken care of,

        When I chose to go out
        I always leave the light on
        when I have to stay in,
        you always find me by the phone.

        My friends tell me that I'm lucky,
        now that I'm living on my own,
        and while they've never been more right,
        can someone tell me when will love come home?
