Well I am sick of reading, I want some feedback. I am in Canada - Vancouver to be exact, but I can have some stuff shipped to a US address and forwarded on to me cause the guy is really cool about it.
I have decided to go AMD + DDR 2700 or higher based.
System to be used by my wife, for photoshop, movie encoding and occasionally lan gaming UT against me and some video editing from our cam corder through a win TV tuner capture card. Wife has interest in this but wants her own system. System will also run codes for our dish
Items I already have
Fujitsu 5400 rpm 6.4 GB hard drive
Floppy drive
52x cd rom
cables
got a cpu cooler
tv tuner capture card
Items I need
case (will find it locally)
OEM cpu (preferably XP based not larger than 1600 or a Duron 1.2 , if price is $20+ diff b/w the 2 cpu's I will go Duron 1.1 minimum)
$70 US to spend
OEM mobo no raid , onboard lan and sound with mild oclocking features (not necessarily 1mhz increment but some adjustment) stability is KEY
$40 US
Video card (considered the Gigabye 8500) but would prefer TV out and 64 ddr if possible decent clk/mem
$60US
256 DDR Ram pc2700 if possible or pc2100 if noticeably cheaper
Power supply whatever is needed
Would appreciate all feedback
