Barebone: Asus Vintage V2-AH2 ATIC Computers - System: Barebones / Small Form Factor / Asus - VINTAGE V2-AH2 - Vintage V2-AH2 RAM: 1GB DDR2-667 : 1024MB PC2-5400 240pin 128Mx64 Unbuffered Non-ECC DDR2-667 Timing CL5 ATIC Computers - Memory / Transcend - 1GB DDR2-667 - 1GB PC2-5300 Processor: Don't know which one would work. ATIC Computers - Products - CPUs HD: ST380811AS : Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 80GB 7200RPM SATA-II-300 3.5" w/ 8MB Cache ATIC Computers - Hard Drive : ATA/SATA / Seagate - ST380811AS - 80GB SATA-II Optical drive: GDR-8163B / 290992-MD0 : ATAPI 16X DVD-ROM (Black/Carbon) (OEM) ATIC Computers - CD & DVD Drives / HP - GDR-8163B / 290992-MD0 - 16X DVD-ROM (OEM) Is this a half decent build for a low end machine? I do need help with choosing the right processor though. Thanks guys!

Re: Barebone machine - help

You use the SOcket AM2 AMD Processors... i highly recommend the 5000+ Black Edition if u can dish out $130 for a CPU

if not.. get the x2 3600+ Brisbane

are u sure u don't want more RAM and Hard Drive Space???

another recommendation is just buy the barebone.. and get the other parts from Canada Computers, or tigerdirect.ca or NCIX.com.. because its way cheaper..

gloomer True Techie Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 162	Re: Barebone machine - help Well this is the only Socket AM2 AMD one. ATIC Computers - CPUs / AMD - ADA3200CWBOX - Athlon64 3200+ Socket AM2 Or can I use any one of the AM2's, or do they have to be Socket Am2's, because there's only one.

Re: Barebone machine - help

If your on a low budget get the 1.9 or 2.1 brisbane.
NVM ncix has the brisbane for 125. Thats alittle high
NCIX.com - Buy AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2 Brisbane 2.1GHZ 2X512KB 65NM 65W Retail Box - ADO4000DDBOX In Canada. cheaper and its 2.1 ghz
