it could be socket 754 athlon64, thus 2.4ghz.

holyjunk125 - Why don't you learn how to type?

Anyway, something went wrong with my last computer. I could never pinpoint it, but I'm aiming towards a processor as everything else was swapped out. Because I didn't want to deal with it anymore, I just gutted it and purchased my compaq.

I am assuming that your price target does not include the monitor, so here goes:

MOTHERBOARD ASUS A8N5X Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 85
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131569

PROCESSOR AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 800MHz FSB 512KB 125
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103606

DDR RAM CORSAIR ValueSelect 512MB 40
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...145-026&depa=0

HDD 80GB Western Digital 7200RPM IDE 8MB WD800JB 55
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...144-122&depa=1

FLOPPY NEC $13.50 Black 1.44MB Internal 10
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...152-005&depa=0

CD + DVD WRITER NEC Black 16X DVD & CD 45
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827152058

VIDEO CARD Radeon X300SE ASUS EAX300SE-X-TD-128 Radeon X300SE 128MB 55
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121538

CASE Rosewill R203A Black Steel ATX Mid Tower 50
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147020

POWER SUPPLY (INCLUDED WITH CASE) INCL.

TOTAL 465

I recently put together this list from Newegg. You might want to spring for an extra stick of RAM. IMHO stick with AMD - you'll get a better bang for the buck. I hope this list helps. You won't get a "great" computer for $500, but it would be a good one.

I reccomend getting a Dell. There are some nice Dells for 399$ now. Mine is very nice and has a lot of memory.. 160 GB!! Dells are cheap and high quality!

but your computer does not have 160GB of memory. That's all you need to know.
