Ok I decided to move my main pc in to my media box.
On doing so the CPU decided to die. When looking to see what my motherboard could handle in its place I find that there is no available CPU that it can handle!
Was an AMD XP 1900
I decided to upg the motherboard to allow for a newer cpu which now I find means that it is nearly impossible to get a motherboard that supports AGP!
So the upshot of this I have decided to get the following:
CPU
Motherboard
Graphics card
Ram
I have about £300 to play with and it was wondering what to go for.
AMD OR INTEL
Dual or single core
DDR or DDR2
As I have not had to buy a new system for a few years things seem to have changed a lot and I appear to be a bit out of touch.
