Cpu/MoBo/Ram, Micro-ATX style

yup looks good.. i think its only 3 dollars more though for ddr2 800 and maybe another 2 dollars more for ddr2 1066.. but thats really only if ya get bored and feel like overclocking the x2 240 :p


the killer on your pops old rig is the memory.. sempron 2800+ isnt a bad processor but you really cant do anything these days on 512mb of ram..

May I ask why you aren't considering a 2GB stick instead?

sure, give me the extra $15 and I'll consider it :D
 
What features does your dad need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
 
Get the RAM used... you can find 2GB kits for $18 or less, shipped on the FS/T forum. I know cuz I've sold and bought some at that price for the last few months, lol. In fact, my latest DDR2 purchase was $12 local pickup for a 2GBNQ G.Skill 2GB kit DDR2-800. :D
 
New or used ram makes no difference. Both will come with lifetime warranty.

Like enginurd suggested. Find some cheap used sticks (not OEM though). I bought 2x1GB DDR2-800 for like $15 last week.

just the ability to play HD videos, he picked up a 1080p monitor and his old setup just isnt enough to drive it

Thanks for the suggestions on used RAM, yeah, I'll keep an eye out for deals
