New Comp

run4it · 06-25-2007, 09:28 PM

I'm building a new system but i want to keep what i can of the old one. Is it even worth it to keep 184 pin memory anymore? I have two 512 Mb sticks of it. I also have a AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 1.8GHz Socket 939 Processor and i can't decide whether i should get rid of it or continue using it for a little while longer. Any advice on that would be great. I do know that i will be needing a new mobo and a new graphics card. I want build an AMD system and i don't care about having SLI. So, with an $800 budget should i be able to build a decent system if i replace my memory and processor or should i keep them? and suggestions on what parts to but would be awesome too.

if you are getting a new mobo....ur basically gonna HAVE to get a new Processor anyway.....AND new RAM...so you shouldn't keep ur old stuff...and $800 is more than enough to build a capable rig

About all you could use would be your DVD drives. MAYBE your hard drives, but most boards now only have one IDE connection on them...

ok that looks great but would i be able to get much better stuff if i didn't get a case. i already have a case to use so i could save a lot of money there i think. i also don't want any new optical drives or hard drives until i absolutely have to get them.

If the hard drive you have is ide, then yes you will need to get a new hard drive mostly because ide are old,slow and their cables don't let the air flow compare to a sata hard drive

That is exactly what I was going to recommend, darn it, you beat me

I don't know why ppl want to spend so much on an Apevia case, I did once and I regret it, I could have gotten so much better for $125(case)
