Not a good deal on that combo. You can do much, much better.

Something like this from Newegg:

pqi POWER Series 184-Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200 - OEM $74.00
ABIT "IS7" i865PE Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU -RETAIL $89.00
Intel Pentium 4/ 2.4C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512K Cache, Hyper Threading Technology - Retail $145.00

Total (Before tax): $ 308.00


Just to give you an idea of what's out there

I think you're getting ripped. You're paying way too much for the CPU/MB/RAM combo. They are all pretty well outdated.

Check out this setup:

EPoX "EP-8KDA3J" nForce3-250Gb Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 754 CPU -RETAIL

A64 3000+

512MB Mushkin DDR400

Total without S/H: $313

You'll paying LESS with this setup, but you're going to get a great deal more performance. Let me check Mwave....I think they have some good combo deals that will save you even more.

Oh, and what are you planning on using this system for?

Here's some bundles:

AMD

Intel
