Hi,
I work in a computer shop and Asus boards have poor reliability - i'm
forever sending them off on warranty. No offence to anyone that owns
one.. Buying a DELL, HP also has it's limitations like PSU and RAM being
proprietary. Personally I would recommend:
Gigabyte P35-DS3L $125
((Realtek sound and network / No problems on linux)
Gigabyte nVidia Geforce 8500 GT 256 MB $101
INTEL CORE2DUO E8200 2.66Ghz/1333 $253 (To be released on
January 20th .45NM technology)
Or on a budget?
Gigabyte M56S-S3 $100
Gigabyte nVidia Geforce 8500 GT 256 MB $101
AMD Athlon X2 4000 2.0Ghz $93
Wack this with high quality RAM and HD:
Kingston DDR2 PC6400 800Mhz 2 GB Kit $62
Seagate SATA II 320 GB Hard Disk $120
And you have a fast system that is reliable. All parts are 2 year
warranty except for Seagate HD which has a 5 year warranty.
