CPU, HDD, mobo

Specs of current setup in sig.

I'm upgrading with the following:

Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive - 52.00

ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail - 66.99

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 1GHz HT Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3000BPBOX - 145.00

My question: Is there anything that I could go with that would take a cut in price, but not performance?

Thanks, Mike

You could switch to a sempron 754.

ASRock has a board thats upgradeable to 939.

yeah i think u shuold go with a sempron 2800, and possibly a asus k8n vm, the mobo is a lil higher priced, but the sempron sure is lower. according to a guy that answered a thread of mine, u can oc a sempron 2800 to 2.4ghz.

I would stick with what you are going to get, That way you can run your RAM in dual channel mode.

As for dropping to 754 You will get less performance.

well the 754 isnt that bad, and the Sempron is an exceptionally good Cheap CPU

I'm definitely sticking to 939, any other comments/thoughts?
