Springing from my last hardware thread: http://seq.sourceforge.net/showthrea...=&threadid=860
Ok, I finally decided it's time to upgrade my P3 600 to something more "this century". I've got the some junk I can reuse (GeForce4 TI4200, 60GB 7200 HD, nice case, Lan card, etc.) but things like RAM, motherboard and CPU are still on my "to buy" list. RAM is dirt-cheap these days and I'm thinking 512MB PC2700 should be enough for now. CPU's and mo-bo's are another story.
As far as MotherBoards, I haven't been following hardware news and price changes, so I'm pretty much clueless as far as which brands/models are the best bang for the buck. I'm definitely set on an Intell P4 2 GHz CPU (AMD I just don't trust and Xeon is out of my budget ).
I've seen some reviews on the web, but couldn't find any sites with comparitive analysis by brand/model. Any links or comments from personal experience would be much appreciated.
