Hi
I hope someone can give me some advice on building a new AMD based PC.
I have choosen a motherboard, the "ABIT KD-7" as I think the KT400 chipset is a stable one, and its quite future proof.
Memory Im going for "TwinMos 512Mb DDR PC3200" Ive seen reviews of the memory, cas is 2.5, so not as fast as 2, but it seems pretty good.
Graphics card is an "Albatron Geforce4 Ti4600", have again seen some good reviews.
Now the problem.. Im on a budget..obviously its not too low as the above excluding the Albatron card, totals £170 roughly. But obviously I need a CPU, and I dont know which AthlonXP to buy.:huh: I just want a CPU that can keep up with the Ti4600, so I can play the latest games with full graphics goodness!.
I was thinking of an AthlonXP1800+, would this be OK, or should I really be thinking of an Athlonxp2100+ ??? :huh:
Can someone advise me? Can you suggest alternative hardware, thats better?
Cheers
