I've always gone Intel, but I'm open to AMD. I'm going to reuse my current
case, but need a new power supply, memory (1 gig preferably), CPU and
motherboard. Obviously with my budget, I can't go nuts. I have to have AGP
(nVidia 6800 AGP card).
I figure $$ will go:
power supply: $50
(example

)
CPU $150ish (Pentium 2.8/800FSB or Athlon 64 3000??? Which form factor? I
know zero about AMD)
Motherboard $100ish (need AGP, would like USB2.0, Firewire, SATA, sound, 800
FSB)
Memory $75-100 (PC3200 DDR 1GB)
Does this seem reasonable? Any specific recommendations? Thanks!
