Hello, I want to go with a Intel Duo.. probably the E7400.. I need compatible motherboard and 2-4GB memory and I want to stay as close to $200 as possible. On newegg.com I found this: Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory which is 4GB memory for $34.99 and the CPU: Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Wolfdale 2.8GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops for $119.99. Now what is a decent motherboard that will work with these and is around $50 or less? Thanks!
Newegg.com - ASRock N68-S AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 7025 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards hope this helps. I've been looking around to build one too and this is the one i'm going with.
