Planning a semi-budget second computer to be based on a Core 2 Duo (probably an E4300). I need ATX, only a single PCI-E X16 slot, no Firewire needed, no onboard video, good BIOS overclocking features, Vista compatible and a reasonable price. As I've been using AMD since the first Athlons came out, I'm confused by the various chipsets offered. Basically, what should I be looking for (chipset or specific board)? I've been using Asus for the past 5 years, so to narrow it down, is there a recommended Asus board? Thanks! Thanks very much to all of you for the information and advice. I'm about to order an Asus P5B - Plus and an E6320 CPU. A bit more than I'd planned, but the reviews are good... |
the 2MB cache instead of the 4MB because gains were not substantial. ~3Ghz
dual-core for less than $200? I would have said "you're crazy" 6 months

Where Phil? thx bob "> I bought my P965-DS3 and E4300 for about $190 a few weeks ago. I opted for the 2MB cache instead of the 4MB because gains were not substantial. ~3Ghz dual-core for less than $200? I would have said "you're crazy" 6 months ago. -- Phil |
cheating by buying a used mobo, but the proc was new...
