ok as my an8 32x has gone faulty, the missis is letting me spend 300 pounds on a upgrade,,,do i stay amd or go intel..

and what do your recommend board and processor wise.
dont forget 100 pound or so will have to go on ddr 2`s
and i can never live with out my guru clock

Motherboard is easy.... QuadGT no question.

I would have suggested an E6600, but with RAM you will bust the budget a bit... Others will have a better CPU suggestion I am sure.

Core 2 Duo without a doubt, It easily possible getting a board, RAM and CPU for £300. Depends how high spec you want to go though.

Well I think flowers are in order, plus whatever else comes to mind

If you can get another £17.00 and a few pennies you get this

QuadGT

E6600 Core 2

Patriot DDR 2 800mhz

Total £318.04
However order the Patriot ram through Google Checkout get a tenner off to bring it to £308.04 add £6.95 for the ram delivery.

Better get down on your knees cause that would be a sweet setup.

i was getting to the e6600 myself seams good for the price, what does she over clock like,

how good are patriot ddr2 , i still love my mushkin redlines it will be a sad day when i pull them out

[DratUK]

have a read of what users have found.
Seems it can overclock to 1000 with the right voltage and chip.

At the end of the day it fits within, well just, your budget. Seems pretty stable.
I have the 667 version in another PC and its stable at 800mhz with no additional voltage needed.

i think i am sold on the e6600 now,even not over clocked it will wipe the floor with my 4200 x2

[dave24]

Another recommendation for the QuadGT if you REALLY dont need SLI. Its a brilliant board, best I've used by far.

looks like abit are going to fix my an8 32x now,,,i still have 300 quid thou,
so i am still updating the baby..thinking of getting the QuadGT putting one of my 7800 gtx`s in it for now

i may then sell my old setup with the over 7800 in it, then use the cash from that to buy a better g card
