I always wonder about compatibility. I don't mean buying the wrong component sata when you needed ata. But some components get on well together and you have a fast trouble free pc. I have a amd K6 500 256 ram 32 Ati graphics ME pc and i could do with sometning a bit newer.
Sempron 3000 ish 754 board with a few pci sata slots for the odd card to go in I will probably have 1x 80gb hard drive but sata would be better as it does away with primary and master. Also a seperate AGP graphics card I am not a gamer 128 something that get on with the mb chips, DVD burner etc.
If anyone has built a pc with a simmilar spec to what I am looking for do advise.[Internet, photos, music, satellite encryption.] total budget £400 730dollar 580 euro Any thoughts would be welcome.
