How bout we stop the flaming and such. I doubt the OP started this thread for a debate or flame war to happen.

False side?.. Of what?.. Seriously.. I made a suggestion and you bashed me for it.. We are all open to our opinions here, No need to bash me for mine.. Single core is still dominate and will be for a year or so longer... and support for it will continue for a couple more years at the least.. But yeah.. No need to bash.. Kids these days, I swear.AC3421 said:Bah, big deal, your still on the false side.

It's funny to watch someone write a strongly-toned post about a hardware choice, then look at their signature and lo and behold guess what hardware they have? I honestly do think it's partly to make themself feel good about what they have, justify their own purchase decision and so on. But those things don't always apply to someone else seeking advice or input.

That etailer you linked sure does not have too many cpu's.AngelfireUk83 said:Well this system of mine lets me listen to MP3's & Surf the net at the same time and thats about it well thats all I've tried I haven't gone any further. But I was just thinking with AM2 not really giving much more performance than 939 and 939 parts going cheap I was just going to get a decent board. The ASUS 1 in my above post is decent not sure what it means by SLI SE is that a lower version of SLI or something.
Anyways then maybe just get a decent A64 CPU or if I have enough get a Dual Core 4600+ which is £170. But I'm sure I can get either that or a 4200+ which is cheaper. I would use my DDR memory from this rig buy a Raptor 74GB for my main drive and a 160GB Caviar drive as a slave and then buy a 7600GT PCI-E card then later another 1 for SLi.
I might keep unused parts and just rebuild it back up like when I get 2GB for my new system. Put the 1GB back this copy of my XP Pro is tied to this motherboard anyway & for some reason I don't want to sell any of it to be honest.

I just want a decent system where I can save a little bit of cash and use a few parts like my DDR memory off this rig.
