I have a little money designated to build a cheap pc.
Going with...
-MB GIGABYTE GA-MA78G-DS3HP AM2+ RTL -Mobo
-VGA EVGA 256-P2-N733-LR 8400GS 256M-vid card
-MEM 2Gx2|GSK F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ R-4 gig GSkill Ram
-CPU AMD|A64 X2 5000 2.6G AM2 65N R-cpu
using with a Antec case w/500 watt ps and a 250 gig HD I already own. Last PC I built was on a 939 board. I like gigabyte boards. I used to like crucial RAM, but recent experiences have made look elsewhere. This Rig will only set me back 200 dollars...but should be alot faster than the Athlon 64 on the 754 board I'm using now. This will be used strictly for this beta, and testing many other MS products with it. The Video card is cheap and will be replaced in the future along with probably the power supply. What do you think?
