Recently there is a massive amount of competition in near all corner of the PC industry. This has resulted in a broad range of products, as producers effort to capture as much market section as they perhaps can.


Take the war among ATI and Nvidia, for example. Every company has been scrambling to increase an upper hand in each cost bracket. The similar can be told about central processing units, which have not only reached phenomenal levels of function, but are too more cheap than always.


This time we will assume the Intel Core II Duo processor as model. The dumbest of the bunch a.k.a. the E6300, is even an fabulously strong processor, still it retails. Because of Intel’s current rise to strong, AMD has been pushed to assume drastic action, which had them slashing costs extensively. Shortly ago the arrival of the Core 2 Duo, AMD was asking rather a cost premium for their Athlon64 X2 processors, but as of just costs have been cut as much as 50 percent for sure example.


The solution is that other low strong processors, such as the AMD Athlon 64 3800+, even create for rather a good choice for gamers. This individual core processor, which is available in either 939-pin or AMII element, recently retails

for only creating it an exceptionally good value. Perhaps more significant is that the kind and cost of supporting CPU boards is just excellent.


In fact, currently Abit demonstrated us with a smart small CPU board of theirs familiar as the NF-M2 nView, which is founded on the microATX format and characteristic the Nvidia GeForce 6150 chipset. This CPU board boosts support for the fresh AMII processors and DDRII memory. Include to that the welcoming, and this completely-boasted Abit product creates for a so tempting proposition.


Fitting this CPU board with Corsair ValueSelect DDRII-667 memory is not excessively costly either, as it cost us just for OneGB. Despite the title that hints this may be el cheapo memory, Corsair ValueSelect is in truth fact excellent quality memory that we now currently were capable to push from 667MHz to 833MHz, not worst at entire huh?


Because larger is ever excllent, we went with a individual SE16 320 GB hard drive, adjusting us back only to fit correct into the proposed budget of for the guts of the system. Recently, a 320 gigabyte hard drive looks to extends the excellent value each Gb, at around 3.3 GB for the Caviar SE16 320GB. Compare that to the much bigger 500GB example which only extends 2.6GB each dollar. Then there are the cheaper littler drives, such as the 80 GB edition, which extends 1.7GB each dollar. It was a magical time when hard drives started retailing at each GB, and just we are 3 times beyond this.
