I normally dont do these kind of posts, but this is for a good old buddy and Im not as knowedgeable all the specs of mobos and stuff.

Here is what I suggested him for his bugdet of $315 for the MOBO/CPU/RAM

New from Newegg:

Corsair Twin Pack Low Latency PC3200 (256mbx2) @ $136
Asus nForce2 Ultra 400 A7N8X Retail @ $88

Used from forums:

Barton 2500+ Unlocked for <$95

What do you guys think?
 
I'm certainly not a fan of restricting a PC purchase to a mere $315, but you chose a good way to do it. AMD is the poor man's choice for a CPU.

What motherboard did you choose, if I may ask?

There's nothing wrong with AMD. Just cause it's cheaper doesn't mean it's a poor man's CPU; they still run very competitively with similarly clocked P4 systems.

That's a nice way to squeeze some good parts from $300. Bravo.
