| best buy for about €1000 ? a friend of mine is going to upgrade his pc and we were wondering what he schould buy, he has a budget of about €1000 this is what he needs: * motherboard (now: one from MSI, but it's busted, hence the need to upgrade) * processor (now: AMD 1800+, may be busted too, not sure) * RAM? (now: 768 MB PC2100 DDR, Twinmoss I think) * graphics-card (now: GF3-ti500) he's not looking for the best oc-able stuff, but for best speed |

-instead of the abit, go for the epox nforce˛ (cheaper, better performing) -instead of corsair, go for twinmoss (same amount of MB and same speed) -XP2800+ is great, buy wathever you want -instead of a 9700 PRO, you can buy a connect3D radeon 9500 and softmod it into a 9700, or just buy a 9700 (non-pro) and overclock it, do whatever you like... cooling...imagination my friend, choose wathever you like... | |

if he isn't looking for oc stuff then he won't be oc-ing, right? the Abit board has more features then the epox corsair is always the best you can get en the best graphics-card is a radeon 9700Pro | |

Epox 8RDA+ (the abit has some bugs in it) Twinmoss PC3200 2*256/512 (corsair is way to expesive, and is it better?? exept the Heatspreader and oc'ing, no!) graphics: Radeon 9700 PRO I guess, or a Radeon 9700 and oc it to a 9700 PRO (if possible) | |
