garmanma Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 My wife's computer is finally toast. It's been 2 or more years since my last build. I've been waiting to see where PCI Express was going. I was thinking Shuttle, Biostar, or Abit for an mobo. Where I really get lost is with the CPU. Whether it's AMD or Intell, I don't want to buy something I'll never use. Most of it's use will be for low end games, web surfing, and networking with her computer at work(on weekends). Could someone shed some light on all the differences out there?thanksMark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Both Intel or AMD will work for what you want. Just get the setup with the best price and reliability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) What price range?This is a decent setup. It has an AGP slot besides PCI-E. You could run yur present AGP card until you pick up a PCI-E.
