This pc is a bit expensive i think, haha. The ASUS P5VDC-MX motherboard have 4 DIMM RAM slots, 2 for DDR and 2 for DDR2, and remember that DDR and DDR2 RAM cannot be used at the same time, so just use DDR2 RAM. It support LGA775 socket processors, Pentium D, Pentium 4 and Celeron D. For the processor, Pentium D 805 is choosed as it is the cheapest available Dual Core processor. It runs at 2.66Ghz, providing 2x1MB fast L2 cache, if you want a faster one, you can choose Pentium D 915(2.8Ghz, 800Mhz FSB, 2x2MB L2 cache), it's price is B$295. For the hardisk, I choosed a SATA hardisk, which is faster than IDE hardisk, and also a bit cheaper. It's 250GB of space lets you store large amount of data, I recommend you to do partition, 60GB in C drive, and 100Gb and 90GB in D and E drive. This motherboard also have on board LAN, sound controller and display engine. If you want to add a graphic card, please remember to choose an AGP 8x interface graphic card, their prices are about B$100+, also you can purchase a new one at QQeStore. If you already have a display unit and not willing to pay for a new one, then deduct B$295 from the total cost price, lowering the total to B$1056. Below are some photos of the products stated above. If you have any questions, please post a comment, thanks.
