I am eventually going learn how to build and install all components safely and correctly.
Firstly I will wait till sales/price drops/special offers etc... Before I buy the components.
I have had two PC's in my lifetime both have had award/phoenix motherboards and they never have bios updates and they always seem to show errors and get out of date very quickly.
I notice a lot of motherboards have regular updates and fixes.
I want a good to upper tier motherboard, with 7 slots can take upto 4gb r.a.m. ddr r.a.m. must have at least 4 slots for r.a.m. mine currenlty has 2 (sad I know).
In the bios it must be automatic configuration, so i don't have to play around with jumpers if I upgrade the CPU. It must have boot virus enabling/disabling. It must have a feature I saw today that has a component that downloads bios updates from windows desktop.
I want to be able to have a processor speed of 3 ghz, prefable amd compatible.
I could go on, around £100-£140
NE1 recommend anything. Wanna harras my father for it after Xmas when we all know sales are on.
I don't want a via, sis, or intel chipset also.
Last part: are nvidia boards great, and is the graphics integrated on boards?
I would like on-board sound also, but that's not a problem as I can just use a sound card I have from my older PC.
really we should have a wish list section.
NE ideas? Going to bed now hope for some good ideas tomorrow when i wake up
