I go into this local computer shop (in shopping mall), just to see what he has and what his prices were. He comes out and asks "Can I help you?" I say "Nah, just looking..." Well, the guy starts to talk and he is an AMD fanboy (me too
!) He's telling me about the new Barton CPU and how he can build me a computer that will blow everything away, so I ask him "So, what chipset do you think is the best for an AMD?" and he says, "The 845MPX is a really good one, I just built an Athlon XP2800+ on one." I go, "Hmmm, sounds great! Well what sort of memory do you use there? DDR?" And he says, "The best memory for an Athlon is based on RDRAM, but you have to get it in pairs, which isn't a problem because PC-100 is so cheap."
So, I think to myself that this guy REALLY knows his stuff and I should be buying my computer parts from him. This guy is actually the owner of the store and he tells me he is A+ certified. The store looked like it had some nice stuff in it, (cases, cooling fans and case mod stuff) He had an AMD Athlon poster on the wall, and displays from nVidia and ATI. It looked like a reputable place.
