Seems like I only post ot questions lately :( I'm thinking about building a new computer. My needs are pretty typical home user stuff. I want to network it (haven't decided on wired or wireless yet), be able to watch TV on it, and possibly make dvd's from recorded TV.
Basically I've decided I want an AMD processor and to use a SATA hard drive. But when I go to look at mobos I'm amazed at the difference in price from one to another. I'm really clueless about the different chipsets and which one I'd want. Googling for a comparison doesn't help too much; do you have to read the reports on every mobo out there? For my last builds I used Asus and it has been rock solid; I think it was a little pricier than other comparable boards at the time. So, any suggestions on a mobo/chipset? What's the absolute lowest cpu you'd go for, considering I'm a cheap bastard? (I'm fairly happy with my 500MHz amd now, I just need a project.) TIA, Todd -- Name that tune #2: Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening.
