just looking to get into the A64 side of things but i don't want to upgrade everything right now.
really all i want to get is the chip and mobo but i just cant figure out the right combination of performance and price....
i'll really only be using this for a few months untill i get enough together to build a brand new system, then i'll hand this one down to replace my girls old system
so the Mobo needs to have AGP so i can use my current Video card and between the Chip and Mobo i'd really only liek to spend around $150
what i think i found (at newegg) that looks decent is
Board - $50.95

-the board i've never heard of but its low cost and has AGP and the reviews weren't very bad at new egg
-the chips i dont know is it worth the $10 diff to go from 3200 to 3500
so i'm open to options and opinions
just try to keep in on the cheap
Thanx in advance for any and all help!
