Hi all

i m a newbie at hardwares so need ur help. ok so i m thinking of getting AMD atholon Athlon 64 3500+ n M2N-E
and a gud VGA card n 160gb of HDD dunno which one to go for but like i said i m newbie in
hardware especially wid intel. My current system's specs r pro 1.7GHZ celeron, M/B intel d845gebv2, ram 640mb ddr,HD 40gb so do i have to buy another ram for new motherboard that supports AMD atholon 64 3500+ . and my budget is $500. so plz somebody help me wid this.

excuse my lame english.
 
well i dun need any used one. i just need to know gud list of motherboards that supports AMD atholon 64 3500+ and a gud VGA. anyone else who wud lyk to help me plz 🙂
 
M2N E is a bad board. AM2 isn't good either. Rather get a dual core. Even if you do get AMD, stay off Asus AM2 boards as they are bad. Get a Seagate SATA II NCQ 7200.10 HDD.
 
asus am2 boards are bad? why?

factoring out the monitor and other non-essential peripherals at the moment, here's a little setup:

athlon x2 3800 65w: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103733
1gb of patriot ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220037
evga 7600gt: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130062
m2n-e (taken from you): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131022

total: 160+115+112+93=480. course this isn't right for you because you probably want to upgrade some other things.

you could stick with the single core 3500 to shave off 65 dollars. or stick with your 640mb ram to save 115 (ddr prices are through the roof anyways). or downgrade the gfx i listed (to maybe an x800gto) to save perhaps about 20 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131007). or get a cheaper mobo (like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130050) to save 20 dollars or so. all up to you.
