Opinions on my 'cheapy' upgrade please

[DaLeroy]

Hey Guys

Getting an upgrade early next week. Just wondering if I could get a few opinions. It's a budget jobbie and the prices are in Australia, so half for US prices, and if they seem high, it's cos we get ripped off down here 🙂


MSI K7T-Turbo 2 (6330-V5) $170
AMD Duron 900MHz $100
CoolerMaster Fan $12
128MB Hyundai PC133 $65
Velta 4305 Case w/ 300W PS $50
Eagle Geforce2 TI 64MB DDR with TV-Out $220

Only getting 128MB cos my old rig still has 192 in it, i'll put that in here
Going KT133A chipset, cos I can use my old memory and it's about $50 dollars less for the mainboard (bearing in mind this is on a budget 🙂
Is is worth spending the extra couple of hundre bucks and getting a DDR board? Will I notice the performance increase. Highest res is 1024x768, playing CS, DOD 2.0 (that ones the reason for the upgrade).

Any options I can change. I'm in Australia, so fancy cases etc are very limited, and these prices are wholesale (yes, over here things are VERY expensive!)

Thanks guys, any input appreciated!

The place I'm ordering from doesn't stock those ones. In terms of perfomance/features etc, how much better are they? More stable?

Thanks guys

Please note, if you HALVE the prices I've quoted, you'll get the approx. US prices.
