I have a good old ATX Matsonic MS7112s Pentium III 500 MHz, rig running like a tuned clock( a bit slow tho )
with a 256 MB ram, (I'll upgrade later)
250 PSU (later I'll apgrade it to a 350)
a 60 GB wd 7200 hdd,
+a 9 GB 5400 Maxtor,
a 32 megs ATI graphic, (I'll upgrade to 64 mb later)
Sony CD r-rw,
and DVD ROM, monitor. modem and cordless keyboard+mouse.
So since the prices of board are so inexpensive,
and the ATX case is in mint condition,
I decided to upgrade the board to a 1.3 , 5 or even 7 Ghz. So since I have MOST everything,
all I need is a board and CPU, but my bank account won't let me spend more then $ 185, for board and CPU combined. Any suggestions for a good and stable board .
