New to SFF, need some help!

[Chunkee]

I am building a portable media computer for our church. We run dvd's, powerpoint,etc for viewing during services.

SK41G

SN41G2

which of the above two models will work with a 2.4xp tbred "a"? Can I get by with the sk41g? We are kind of on a tight budget...I am going to put a vivo card in there and not use the savage onboard?

thanks for your help

according to comments on newegg the AMD XP 2400+ processor works fine in this machine. It should be fine, only a bit slower than the SN41G2 because it the VIA chipset lacks the dual channel ddr of the nForce2 in the SN41G2.

being almost 100 dollars cheaper and since you're going to use a video card I don't know of any big reasons (other than maybe avoiding the VIA chipset)

I have both and I feel you are NOT going to see any differnce in them while doing office tasks. The best thing is to get a fast HD and lots of memory and you will be fine.

thanks fellas,,,since we are on a budget, then i will get the less expensive one from excaliber and save the extra money to get a carry bad and remote...i was thinking of putting a 2.4 xp in there and 512 of memory with a 120gb se hard drive....i think that will be enough
