hi all
i was thinking of getting this upgrade kit from komplett it includes as follows
309926 - Intel Pentium D 820 2.8GHz Socket LGA775, 2MB, EM64T, BOXED w/fan (info)

317062 - MSI 945P NEO2-F, I945P, Socket-775, ATX S-ATAII, GbLAN, DDR2, PCI-Ex16 (info)

312089 - TwinMOS DDR2 PC4300 1024MB Dual Pack KIT w/two matched DDR2 PC4300 512MB CL4 (info)


all for 448 euro's i'm just wondering is this good value for money for what you get.

if your on a budget and upgrading its not to bad, but if i were upgrading (and wanted an intel chip) then i would get the new presler core

Intel Pentium D 920 2.8GHz Socket LGA775, 4MB, BOXED w/fan

MSI 945P Platinum, I945P, Socket-775 Firewire,SATAII,ATX,GbLAN,DDR2,PCI-Ex16

Corsair Value S. PC4200 DDR2 1024MB Kit w/two matched Value Select 512MB

Or a much better option

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz Socket 939 1MB, BOXED w/fan

Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9, nForce4-4x,ATX, Socket-939, 4xSATA,GbLAN,Firew, PCI-Ex16

I am thinking to upgrade myself,
but i have question about memory for AMD x 2. Is that memory better Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 1024MB 128Meg x 64, CL5, 667MHz, 240-pin it cost nearly the same from komplett

AMD chips don't support DDR2 memory (until M2 is released). Neither do the motherboards.
