A friend is putting together a PC and would like to know/get opinions on the following hardware. If you have dealt with any of the following, input would be appreciated. If you have suggestions for similiar hardware in the same price range, feel free to post those too.
1) AMD Athlon XP ThoroughBred 2400+ 2.0GHz Socket A Microprocessor, OEM … might be getting a 2600+ before it’s said and done
2) Black Edition: SOYO SY-KT400 DRAGON Ultra Socket A ATX Motherboard, KT400 Chipset based, DDR400/333, AGP 8X, Audio, RAID, LAN, USB2.0 & ATA133
3) Samsung DDR 400MHz 512MB (PC 3200) 184Pin Computer System Memory Module, Non-ECC, OEM
4) 120GB WD HD spec. ed. (8 MB cache)
5) Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 64MB SDRAM 4X AGP TV Out
Thesystem will have the HD as IDE 0 master along with a CDRW and CDrom in the setup. The monitor will be a 19″ CRT.
The PC will be used for both gaming and apps, around 70/30 split.
All answers with valid/relevant input will be accepted.
Thanks
