[winfred]

i am thinking about building a peecee with a amd 3200 and ether a asus K8V-SE deluxe or a A7N8X-E deluxe, i am leaning towards the k8, i can beat the local best price by at least $100 for a 3200 cpu/a7 mb combo on ebay and save another $100 on a ati 9800 pro on ebay. best combo $ on k8/3200 i've found $345 and $218 for a7/3200 give or take a few bucks for buy it now or regular auction, is that as good as it gets?

Macs dont need CPUs or Main boards, why waste the presidents?

Seroiusly tho (as I can be) if you want some serious links hit me up email and Ill send some stuff to you. Been building PC's (peecees lol) since about 99, still havent a clue as to what im doing but they just work.

I usually go to www.mwave.com I mean you can go ebay, but if your buying new why not go with a reputable dealer just in case there is a problem.

Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe is $86 but can only handle up to Athlon XP 3000

you can also get a refurb one for $50

As for the processor, I would never spend over $100 for the processor... it is just a waste of money and it is not that noticeble to you on the speed... it is the video card, amount of RAM and how fast your HDD and controller that makes all the difference.

You also have to decide on your mobo... why spend all that money into CPU when you mobo is limited to the maximum Athlon XP speed of 3200 I think... when everyone is going the Athlon 64 route?

Check with pricewatch.com, pricegrabber.com or nextag.com for components... you gotta watch out that shipping cost... sometime it is way cheaper to just buy the stuff from one place.

Computergate.com is also another place to shop... at least their shipping is resonable.
