I usually build for others so I'm usually purchasing for maximum profitability. Now I'm thinking it's time to sell my current rig and build another.
Why?
Not cause my current rig is too slow-- with my usage it's quite good. It's just that I may just cannibalize and sell my current system and start using all that Crucial Ballistix DDR2 I bought a couple months ago. I figure I'd build a system with Vista Business in mind and perhaps if I find a game I like then and only then will I buy a video card. That means I'm thinking IGP.
Currently I'm using:
*Foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS
*3800+ X2 Manchester oc'd to 2.5Ghz
*2Gb(2x1) DDR at 2.8Mhz
Like I said, I've got some Ballistix, about 4GB(4x1) PC2-8000 CL5 so I'm thinking I may as well try Vista Business 64.
As for the cpu, I'm sure dual core is enough, but I probably could wait for the Intel 45nm chips since I believe they're worth waiting for. I don't know though if they will be offered with DDR2 support.
Can you suggest a cpu/mobo match that has best bang for little bucks? I don't care about bragging rights, just buying some tools to build web sites, run Office, surf, pay bills, overclock some, email, run my business, etc.
How about the EVGA 112-CK-NF77-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce e-7150/630i HDMI Micro ATX?
