I've never been very good a RTFM so haven't read all of the posts in this topic. Maybe my answer is in there somewhere. Anyway - I'm going to have my son build a system ground up (I'll help). AMD or Intel? I was thinking of going w/ a 1.5 P4 and a motherboard that will take a 2ghz or higher - that way he can eventually upgrade to the 2ghz system that he wants. I'm not so sure that a P4 is the best way to go. A 2ghz system 'sounds' a lot better than an 1800 or whatever.
This system will be used for games and music (and a little homework).
If money were not an issue, what mb and cpu would you go with?
If money is an issue, would that make your decision different?
What are the trade offs? I just want to get him started in the right direction and just can't figure out which system to build on.
Thanks
