WTB: Mobo and CPU

[eminem_rh25]

Here are my current system specs

Intel Pentium III 500Mhz
384MB PC100 Registered ECC RAM
8MB nVida Vanta AGP Card
Aureal Vortex 2 8830 Sound Card
Dynalink USB 2.0 4 Port Add-On
Askey/DynaLink TView99 TV Tuner
Netgear FA311 Ethernet Adaptor
Toshiba 8x DVD-RW Drive
Iomega Zip100
Maxtor 40GB
Maxtor 60GB


My current system isnt cuttin it anymore. I want to buy a new mobo cpu and i will probably need different ram. Here is what I need to get, and I need to get ti CHEAP

CPU - At least 1.3Ghz...

Mobo - Needs to be nice, size doesnt matter too much cause my case can hold about any mobo. I would perfer for it to have USB 2.0 but that is not nessecry. I want it to have intergrated sound and NIC

Memory - I would like to use this memory but since most mobos dont support ECC ram then I need about 512 ram

Vid Car - Not a prority but I want to get a newer one anyway.

If you find a cheap (sub 200) solution post it!

thanks
ryan

You're going to need new ram. Most anything above 1.3ghz uses DDR. Good news is DDR ram has dropped in price a lot recently.
512mb for $40

Certainly a new video card is in order too. Your choice depending on what you use the pc for.
I would be looking for a good socket A board with 400FSB this will run chips up to a 3200+. I have a MSI K7N2 and highly recommend it. You can also get a version of this board with onboard video but I believe it only runs at 333FSB not 400.

Buy whatever cpu you can afford, lots of good AMD chips in the $40-70 range.

Well, it's not sub-200, but it's darn close at $218. At monarchcomputer.com, you can get an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, an AMD Sempron 2600+ (333 MHz FSB), and 512 MB of DDR RAM (400). They will also pre-test it for you. However, I would recommend going to Socket 754 or Socket 939 if you want an Athlon 64. Also, for videocards, I would would go with a NVidia (MSI) 5700 for $120 or a NVidia 6600 for $170 (256 MB). For a total price of 338 or 388, it's a pretty good system, assuming you don't want to play new 3D games on it.
