Building an AMD system. Need advice.

[Nickyct]

A friend of mine ask me if I could build him a system at a mid price range. I suggest him to use AMD 1700+ XP
I'd like to know what motherboard Memory work good with this CPU.

Here's what I had in mind for other stuff
IBM 40 gig 7200
ATI expert 2000 32meg

Thanks

I like to use the Epox 8K7A motherboard and Crucial memory. I have used the lesser expensive Shuttle boards also and they work well too.

yukkkk

definately don't go for the ATI expert 2000 32meg. If he plans on gaming I'd try for a Geforce 3 Ti200 unless he wants to spend more for a Geforce4

I have the EPoX 8KHA+ and love it. I know there are compatibility problems with the Ti4600, but unless you get that card or he plans to upgrade to it at one point it doesn't really matter.

Take a look at the Iwill xp333. It's a great OC'ing board and took top honors with the ePoX for $40 less.

I don't think he's into gaming that much. EPoX 8KHA+ and Iwill xp333 were the first two that I had in mind but Just want to know from someone whose's used them before. I just want to put a mid range video card.

I think he's basically want his system to go on the net and do his banking online and do some report stuff. That's why I didn't want to go crazy on heavy duty graphic intense video card.

If you want a cheap card, get GF2 MX or radeon ddr card..
