Re: MB + CPU

I have a budget of £150... give or take a few pounds.

I want to buy a new MB and a new CPU, I have a case, power supply,
memory (if it will swap) and a HD, and DVD ROM. These items can be
installed/built around the new MB and CPU

But... what MB & CPU to buy ? ? ? ?

I might come unstuck with the graphics card as all the ones I have now
are AGP.. not PCI, so this might have to come out of a budget I have
yet to invent , but I need to get MB & CPU to start off with :-)

Would it be too much to ask what sort of memory?

I know it may seem a stupid question but there are a surprising number
of people posting on here who seem to think this is alt.clairvoyant.

BTW traditionally, an MB is a number of bits not shorthand for
Motherboard.
