what do you think?

 
have you considered pentium 4 northwood configuration?

i have
epox 8kha+
1ghz AXIA cpu
2x 256 mb crucial
enhance 300w psu
alpha 8045 with paps L1A.

i'm running this system at 1.2ghz right now.
i can push more... but for now... i don't really have a need to. 🙂

and that's 'cause my pentium 4 1.8a is pushing it's speed all the way up to 2700mhz.

as of today

p4 1.8a = 188+6.95
asus p4s333 = 104+8
2x(kingmax pc2700 256mb = 87+9)= 174+18
sunflower 24+5
chieftech full size case with 420w psu= 79+25

total 632.95

same price... much better config if you ask me. 🙂
you can order everything that i listed from newegg... except for sunflower.
for that you can go to 1coolpc.com
oh... and as for kingmax ram... they are oos right now...
but get in line and wait...'cause they're worth your wait.

🙂
