So I'm cruising NewEgg yesterday and their Barton 2500+ retail is on sale for $90 and they also have what I THINK is gonna be me new memory on sale the GeIL Golden Dragon Dual DDR 512MB(2x256MB) 400MHz Model GD3200 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?description=20-144-602) for $99.
Is this sounding like a decent upgrade for Bubbles? I'm not building a new rig like I originally planned, I'm just gonna upgrade Bubbles a bit. (New mobo, CPU, & memory...but the case & viddy card will be the same. :) )
Oh, the mobo is an MSI K7N2-L and it's bright red and I'm loving it. It came yesterday, I traded me GF4 for it. :D
I'm not even picking up a decent heatsink/cooler for the CPU yet, I'm going as cheap as humanly possible right now just so I can get away with getting it all...I figure I can add-on down the road. I won't really need to be overclocking it right off the bat anyways. ;)
Any advice is appreciated. I like the idea of going thru NewEgg with the memory just in case there IS a problem/it don't work well because I know I can just exchange it with them without hassles. (Not to mention they have the best service/price/etc. ;) )
