Uuurrgghhh.... My trusty old MSI 7025 has finally snuffed it, taking my 3200+ cpu with it.
My PSU, HDDs, Case & DVDs are fine, so I just need a new mobo, cpu (with fan if I don't use the Freezer Pro), RAM and a GFX card.
My old kit for comparison : AMD 64 3200 single core, Arctic Freezer Pro, 2GB Corsair XMS2, x1600 GFX card (AGP).
I really cannot afford the expense of C2D, and am happy to go with (non overclocked) AMD AM2 cpu.
So, looking at an AM2 AMD 64 4600 X2 cpu as a starter, what are my options ?
I really need stability over all else as I run some pretty awkward SW, and like to view HD movies. I also do music recording and large photo and video processing so some speed would be good too .
Mobo ?
2GB RAM.
GFX (silent, or very quiet)
Budget - no more than £250 all in (and that will leave me totally skint)
TIA
