Hey guys,
I haven't followed the latest deals and best bang for the buck, so here I am asking! My gf's desktop is (A) a little aged and (B) need more USB ports, badly. She's a relatively light user, but a cheap dual core would be good. Integrated graphics that support Vista Aero (I'm thinking nVidia 6150?) are fine, must have a PCI slot for her TV tuner, and LOTS of USB 2.0 ports. And if possible, re-use her DDR 400 RAM from her current AXP setup.
Is S754 the best bang for the buck? Did they ever release an A64 X2 for S754, I can't remember. What about 939? Or should I actually consider Intel on the cheap side?
BTW, I mean dirt cheap! I thought I saw an A64 X2/mobo combo in the $100 range, that's what I have in mind.
Let loose!
TIA
