uhmm no man people on this forum dont know a damn thing about hardware.

he could get a 1gig duron, kt-266a based motherboard, 256megs ddr, and a gf3 ti 200 for right around 400 dollars.

the kt-266a will give him a very nice upgrade path too. so that if he wants to go faster he can. according to the amd rep i met with a few weeks ago they are expecting to hit 2 ghz very soon the throuobred core should top out around 2.5-3ghz. that means that all he would have to do is swap out the cpu the motherboard will scale well beyond 2ghz.
