Ok, I want to spend around $100 to upgrade my secondary rig. It's the computer I use when I'm not away at college and the computer I am using at the moment. I don't want to spend a ton on it simply because I already have a rather powerful main rig (see system specs).
Ok, I have 2 gigs of DDR2 1066 already purchased that will go into it, so don't worry about ram. Here are the current specs:
Athlon XP-m @ 2.42 GHz
ASROCK K7VT4A PRO
1GB PC2100
500w PSU
X800GTO 16pp AGP
Western Digital 250GB IDE
Seagate 320GB SATA 2
DVD burner and DVD drive
Old soundblaster live
My beautiful p1220 22" professional CRT
Ok, the CPU has got to go, so obviously the motherboard has to follow. I'm not going to get rid of the X800, because that would up the costs. I'm thinking something like a Pentium D 805 and an ASRock Dual-VSTA. I'm selling the ram, motherboard, CPU and an FX5500 I have sitting around to my girlfriend's brother. He just wants a computer to surf the web and that should suit him just fine. I want to stay near $100, and I don't want to wait to sell the X800 on ebay, so no telling me to get a PCI-Express card for it. I'll do that later when I really upgrade it.
