System Comparison

[Chris Duncan]

Building a PC for my mother so she can email and watch movies

Bunch of parts lying around

which would be better?


Asus M2N68-AM-SE2
Athlon LE-1640 2.7ghz (2009)
2gb DDR2
PCIe16
USB1.1


Asus P5P800
Intel P4 3.0ghz (2007)
4gb DDR1
AGP-8x
USB2.0

I'd say the P4 build mostly because of the USB 2.0 and the fact that she most likely won't need a high end graphics card.
