Another AMD or Intel question.......

[maddmaxx]

I have been asked to build a system for the office where I work. I am planning on using everything from the old system that will work (cd-rom, HD, etc.), but not sure wether to go with AMD or Intel based mobo/processor. The computer will be used for office applications and internet access. I don't see it being used for heavy graphics apps.... mostly book-keeping type stuff.

Any reccomendations on mobo manufacturers and model #'s would be greatly appreciated!!!

peace

for that kind of general use, i would suggest getting the cheaper one (amd). 2500+ comes to mind

Given the usage, and tha fact that MechBgon hasn't hit this yet I suggest the Asus A7N266-VM/AA *fully integrated solution including GF2MX video*, XP1800+ retail, and 256mb of Crucial 2100DDR=$162.41 for the basis of a nice, stable, and inexpensive little workstation.

LOL! I'm that predictable, aren't I? Yeah, these have proven to be quite good with Win2000 where I work (we have 24 and another 7 in the pipeline) and I hear they're well-behaved with WinXP too. Heck, I've got a 180-day trial version of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition running on mine here at home!
