Basic Parts
I have a second computer which my parents use, its a very old system which they basically use for internet, email and word processing. After being told the MoBo has had it, i found a few parts that i would like some advice on. Whethere these are compatable, wherther i need any extra parts etc. m not very good at reading technical specs so dont really understand them well
Mobo http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...3&v=2#infoarea Does this have onboard graphics or do i need a card to go with it as well. Does it have an ethernet connection? is it good value for money? Processor http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...7&v=1#infoarea is this good value for money? isit compatable with the MoBo? good value for money? like i said they use it for very basic needs, so i just wana know if these are good enough for this. Thanks. |

Yes it has onboard video and a NIC. Price looks ok, but I'm not totally sure about £. Also, it's only Socket 754...
CPU should work with the mobo. I'd go with a newer socket, but it'll work.

what makes it so much better? just because it is a newer socket? why is a newer socket better? or is there other factors which make it better? also, i would be greatful if someone could find a heatsink and fan that would fit with this, im not too sure about there, or are these pretty generic, as i have a couple but am not sure if they will fit.
