Ok im looking for a good matching, fast, yet affordable CPU+Motherboard from below, with which to add 1024DDR

- Which CPU from this list (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_AMD_CPUs_51.html) would you choose?

- And which Motherboard from these lists (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_AMD_Motherboards_68.html)?

I'm not looking to spend more than 200 english pounds on these two (poor student),

My choice so far is the AMD Athlon "Barton" XP2500+ 333FSB and Asus A7N8X Deluxe nForce2.

Brilliant choice mate.

If you're buying from them, please tell me how good they are, I have been considering purchasing my equipment from them, but I haven't had much experience with them.

The XP 2500+ and an Asus A7N8X Deluxe nForce2(not one of the micro ATX boards...).

I'm not an AMD person, but I have to agree with your choice on a budget.

I'd choose the 2500 barton too, but I'd choose the Epox mobo first or a Abit Nf-7 if available. The Asus board is good too. If I had to choose its tough, there all good.

instead of the A7N8x, look at the soltek 75FRN2-L

top board, i have one myself, extremely impressed

also, that shop is the nuts, i buy almost everything off that site, the service is second to none
one of the few proper good online computer shops in UK
