and mind u all that I DO NOT have ANYTHING to work with, Im as poor as can be...

but this is what I found and I hope it might do...

Soltek ATX Athlon XP / Nvidia nForce2 400 Ultra


Kingston 512MB Kit DDR PC3200 (2x256MB)


AMD Athlon Sempron 2600+ 1.83 GHz BOXED

I know it isnt much, but its more than much better than this pile of junk... I will be keeping my HDD and my GeForce FX5200 ultra as thats too much expenses atm...

the Price is:

160 £

let me know if its useable and I will go rob that bank cause thats already more than I have, and yes I only want AMD... and thats only cause Im sick and weird...

AMD Athlon 64 2800+ (boxed) - € 111,95

512MB PC3200 DDR (Kingston) - € 46,50

Sapphire Radeon 9200 SE 128MB (AGP) - € 42,49

AMD is not weird- AMD is great!

Those prices of Meteor's sound like a right bargain- and you have a jolly little machine with those specs. Not top of the range but still pretty fine!

Hmmm but Meteor's price's are missing a motherboard for the cheap goodies.

and I have no intentions of changing my GFX... I just need it running proper for CS for now.... but 160 is somewhere close to the cheapest I can get without having to buy it from some other country or buying some cheap brand I dunno....

edit:
here is the cheap price... when I still get it in an ok size:

MicroStar ATX nForce2 400 Ultra Chipset 456,00

Elixir 512 MB DDR RAM 3200 (PC400) 295,00

AMD Athlon Sempron 2600+ 1.83 GHz BOXED 585,00

Prices are Dkr, total price in Pounds: 130 £
