Yeah, Id rather go w/ an amd athlon, I think. But since theyre less mainstream I dont know what their numbers mean. Like whats the difference between the 3100 and the 3400? Why does the 2800 cost more than the 3100?
Just looking at the 7 different motherboards on the athlon section of collegepc makes me wanna say "screw this"
The price difference from $85-140 has to mean something...
The ASUS and MSI are both $140, have the same features...ok... but then the Gigabyte above it matches them but is only $115.
(What the hell does "1394" mean anyway?)
Why does memory from Corsair cost 2x as much as Ultra-Fast?
(Are we like comparing APC to Mugen or what?)
I didnt even know that mboards came with that much memory space...4!? Could I just put 2 512's in there, to make 1gb, instead of a single 1gb, to save a little cash? Does it work that way?
What does "ATA" mean on Hd's? IE - "ATA100", "ATA150"
"Cache Serial" vs just "Cache"?
If I decide to use a different audio card, is that also just plug-in? What do I do w/ the sound-out from the mboard?
(man I dont think Ive ever felt like such a noob)
