Things I want:

- A video card - lower profile would be best for the slower mobo/proc combo - PCI-express, AGP or even PCI - something decent.

-- 2 512mb sticks of pc3200. Does not need to be matched. Needed very soon!

-- MCE TV tuner card.

--MCE remote - seperate from card.



No name brands needed, used is fine - it just needs to function, and be stable at rated speeds.



FOR SALE!
All prices are OBO! Shipping not included.

My friends Fujitsu Lifebook N-series. Model N3511. Centrino 1.86Ghz, 512mb RAM, Mobility x300, DVD RW, XP Home edition. LCD was replaced recently by factory due to defect - I think it's a 15.4". I've used it a few times and it gets a solid 3+ hours on the battery. Absolutely no scratches - flawless condition. I'd buy it from her but I want one of the tiny lifebooks :) - $850 OBO. - Also, she has the original box for it to be shipped in. To calculate what shipping will cost you the zip is 97330.



Socket 478 P4 processor. 2.8ghz, this one is a retail CPU with the HSF and in a 3.0 P4 box. For now it will be to trade towards motherboard / cpu / ram. Look in my wanted below for details. $60 to buy it outright!



Asus P4R800-V deluxe motherboard. Was in same system as retail P4, but was randomly restarting. A new mobo fixed the issue, so there's something wrong with this one. I was told that a bios flash would fix it, but that's up to you. AS-IS. Does $35 seem reasonable? Or buy the P4 retail and this board for $80! Work out the bugs and you got yourself a heck of a deal I'd think.




Fisher CD player case. Was going to turn it into a HTPC, but I dont have the skills to fit it all in there. There is a hole in the back from getting impacient and wanting a full sized PSU in it. $5




I have several other things for sale now - just no pics yet - PM for pics / they'll be up soon.

256mb Samsung PC4200 SODIMM- $12

Netgear ethernet adapter (FA311 Rev - C1 - model number?) - $5

As I'm cleaning up the dorm to move out a lot more will come!

Various SATA cables / power adapters - For trade?



Sound cables - For trade?

Not trying to avoid sales here but I cant say willamettes are the best choice for your application. People are having lots of luck with the Celeron D's, you might want to look into that.
 
What makes a processor good for that application? I kinda just assumed that anything decently fast would be fine.
 
In essence it should work, idk. Celeron D's are good in terms of price/performance.

Another issue will be heat/size of heatsink - being a cd changer it can't be very tall... Bump

Another reason why Celery D's would be a good choice. You can either use the stock sink or slap a 1U on it, and maybe even run it passively.
 
Ahh! How do you delete a bump? the button says edit/delete.... so where is delete?!? Feel free to do so if you're a moderator - and let me know how to do so in the future...
 
The Celeron D is a better choice because it has SSE3 and a lot of media center related stuff benefits quite a bit from it, plus the heat is way lower and ghz for the buck is also a lot more attractive.
 
BuMP for ya!

P.S - I say make the choice for yourself when it comes to a budget CPU. IMHO, I'd say go with the proven winner, which is AMD's Sempron line. A new Sempron 64Bit 3100+ w 256k L2 cache will only set you back about $80-90 US depending on where you buy one (new vs used). Here are some articles I found that you may find of interest in reguards to the two processors :

Battle of the Budget 64Bit CPU @ Tweaktown

Value Overclocking : Celeron D 335 vs. Sempron 3100+ @ Sharky Extreme

Duron Successor : AMD Sempron @ Tom's Hardware

Celeron D vs Sempron @ Hardware Secrets

Obviously, the AMD line including the Sempron will be a better choice for gaming vs Intel's line. With todays technology, even the 64bit Sempron will be equal to the latest Celeron D's in tasks not relating to gaming as well. Have fun in whatever choice you make and sorry if the above statement sounds biased! ;)
