I'm building a budget system (~$1,000)
I use adobe photoshop, AutoCAD 2005, and some other graphic intense applications. I mostly do solid modelling with my computer.
I plan on using 1GB of Corsair XMS PC-3200 memory (2X512) in dual channel.
I'll have a S-ATA hard drive.
and probably an ATI 9600 XT video card.
I've been doing so much reading on processors and the best choice for the cheapest cost, and my brain hurts.
I could go with an Athlon XP-mobile 2400+ and overclock it cheap, and get 2.2 GHz, I know that much.
As for the other processors, like Athlon64, and most of Intel, I'm lost.
Can you guys give me some good insight as to what my options may be? Help me choose!
