Well, if you want to keep the price low........go with at least a FIC mobo AZ11E, AMD Athlon 1.2GHz, and maybe a PC133 128MB SDRAM chip or two. Cost about $300 if you price shop. Also if your case is AT, you'll definatly need a new one. This you don't want to be skimpy on the price. Get one with good airflow. Either way it will be cheaper (and faster) than making another Intel system.

Get the ECS K7S5A. It's cheap, DDR, and performs very very well.
