Hi folks, I think after my PC died last week it's about time for an upgrade (especially since my other half's Celeron I'm using is painfully slow!).
Now I'm looking to upgrade to a dual core machine. As my old PC was a Socket 754 Athlon 64 with DDR memory I'm going to have to replace my board, CPU, memory and video card. Traditionally I've been a fan of AMD. I found their CPU's price/performance ratio was top notch, although I can't help but notice that AMD is getting trampled on a bit by Intel with the Core2 processors and I really don't want to have to wait until the AMD Phenom is released and prices have come down to a more reasonable level. I don't play games on my machine so I don't need anything fancy like multiple video cards. I do play videos, music, browse the net and all things like that. I'm trying to set my budget around the £150 mark, for a CPU, motherboard, 2GB memory and dirt cheap PCI Express video card. Now the problem is, I'm not sure what is considered a good mid range board these days. I presume for about £150 I'm only going to be able to get something like the Pentium Duo (or a very low spec Core2Duo), I just wondered what would be considered a good board to match with such a processor? Could anyone recommend a decent board for about the £50 mark? Ta, Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
