Hey folks...
My P4 CPU died... The obvious quickfix is to buy another pentium 4 to replace it... Or should I do a minor rebuild?
I currently have:
Abit IT7-MAX
dead P4-1.6
512 MB Samsung PC2700
60 GB Maxtor
Geforce4-4400
SB Live value
So, I could just replace the processor with, say, a P4-2.4 GHz or I was thinking of getting the following:
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Athlon 2500+ Barton
Radeon 9700
Crucial 512 MB PC2700 (may be used along with my current 512MB)
WD 80 GB 8-MB cache (other drive as slave)
Is this upgrade worth the cost? I may ebay off the old video card, motherboard... Would my current case w/300 (330?) Watt Antec power supply be good enough? OR should I pick up a new case/PS?
Thanks!
