[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 36720, member: 18181"] Well, I'm running a Tul socket 754 board with a Sempron 2600+ CPU, 64 bit support and high def audio. It works just fine. Cost for both was about $110 US with shipping. These semprons overclock really well too. What I saved on the board and CPU I used to buy an X1300 card for graphics. I bought it refurbished for $66 with shipping. About $175 for all three. The Cheapest 939 CPU is what? Around $150? Then you need a board and graphics card. I picked up a Jetway 939 board with ATi 200 chipset and on board graphics with side port video RAM. (about $90 new) With a 3500+ CPU and overclocking... 1700 03 3D marks. The 2600+ system gets over 3500 03 3D marks with no overclocking and has Avivo so video playback is better as well. Don't throw money at the CPU if you don't need it. [/QUOTE]
