Hello there everyone.

I'm a bit of a computer nerd. I live in India, so I don't have the opportunities to experiment like you guys do and the equipment is much more expensive over here as well.

Now, my question for you guys is that one of my friends wants a system on a budget. Normally I'd have told him to go in for a P4. In this case though, I want him to have an Athlon 1800+ as it would be a good thing for a 3D system and architecture.

I researched all over and since we're on a limited budget, I found that the Leadtek KR7N18G-Pro (Nforce2 with built in graphics) is a great board with GF4 MX processor built in too. Has anyone used this motherboard? And how does the performance of this board equate to the ASUS? Buying an A7N8x deluxe is out of the question, as it costs a little over 225$ here (a month's salary). And that's why he can't go in for a separate graphics card, they're way too costly over here.

Your comments please?

Also, how would an Athlon stand up to 45 degree C summer temperatures?
