Hi guys, I have the following components;
-AMD Sempron 140 @2.7 GHz (http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Sempron_140/2.html)
-Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3377#ov)
-2Gb Kingston Hyper-x DDR3 RAM (1600MHz)
I managed to get this lot dirt cheap and thought I'd build a budget pc. Just need some help as what to put with it.
-My budget is no more than £150
-Used for media, word processing and light gaming
-To be build within the next two weeks
-In the UK
Just a couple of questions. I've read rumours about unlocking the CPU's other core using the 710 southbridge chip ? :s
and the CPU only supports RAM speeds of 1033 MHz apparently, is this a problem with my current RAM?
Can I lightly over-clock this CPU for experience ?
I realise this wont be the best build but its mainly for experience and because I've already got these parts.
Thank you and regards,
Jonathan
