I heard from the person that if you want quadcore, ur
motherboard must have flash BIOS or sth, didnt remember
clearly.
All price are alone, means just the processor
Graphic cards, must see if ur motherboard supports AGP 8x, or
the newer PCI-express graphic cards, PCI express graphic cards need
power, so ur power supply must be able to have the output wire to
plug in the PCI express graphic cards
Ram, must see what Ram ur motherboard supports, DDR
or DDR2?
Is your computer used for gaming? normal use? work? got
open graphic intensive programs like
photoshop, dreamweaver, sony vegas, and they all eat
RAM, if you make videos, get a faster processor, so
things can be embedded faster
