I normally buy a barebones system and build it up myself. The last 2 I've had I've done this. You just have to watch what you but ay Computer shows though, just like this one I am on now the barebones system is mismatched. The Motherboard is not designed to run this type CPU, although it will work , it causes problems. The MB is designed to work on the normal AMD CPU but this one that came with it is the AMD XP series (1600) and they make a special MB for those CPUs. One of these days I will either just scrap the system or get another MB. But I really want to do is hold out for a AMD 64, right now the CPU alone is around $700 , for you guys not familer with the AMD 64 it works on 64 bit and not 32 bit like the systems are now. It is backward compatible though and will run the 32 bit system. Windows next system will be a 64 bit system.
