Hi guys, my friend is just building up a small HTPC, he has seen one on ebay that he likes the look of and is just wondering whether or not it would make a good starting point. Specs are: foxconn rc4107ma motherboard ati x800gt 1gb ddr2 ram Intel Celeron 2800 Antec Fusion case No i realise that the ram is going to have to be bumped up to at least 2gb, and it's probably best to get a dual core processor, but would the cheapest dual core cpu work on this motherboard? Anything else to consider
Looking at the Foxconn website the board can only take the older p4 cpu's and not newer core 2 duo / pentium range. http://www.foxconnchannel.com/searcher.aspx?key=rc4107ma What is your friends budget.
