Nice thing is, my Son is going to by my Socket 939 PC for $200.00 with:

Athlon X2 4200 (just upgraded to this)
1GB RAM
PCIe ATI Graphics Card With 512MB DDR2 - DVI & VGA OUT
500MB Green WD HDD
DVD Writer
Multi Card Reader


He's been wanting something to play WoW, and Civilizations on.  I was showing him on Ebay, how the Socket 939 CPUs ALONE, are going for twice what the AM2 and up ones are going for.  The guy wanted 99.00 for the X2 4200 I just got, but I shot him a best offer of $60.00, and he took it.   I sold the Socket 939 Athlon64 3700 and Sempron64 3500 I had for $40.00, with 512Mb DDR Ram, so I kinda took a loss there.  Even PC 3200 DDR is selling for twice what DDR2 is.

Anyhow, This 64bit Win7, 6GB ram, and runs nice.  Just going to take a while to get my apps and data to the this one.

I paid 398.97 for the Tower, KB, Mouse, and Speakers. I am getting $200.00 back, so, can't beat that.  Win7 Home Premium 64bit-full (non upgrade, it would not work) is about $119.00, so there was no sense in upgrading mine, when I would only be spending 198.97 for a new machine, after selling my other one.

Win 7 works and LOOKS just like Vista, not impressed...  I got the 64Bit version, so I can't be fair in evaluating it with 32bit machines.  I am on Vista now, I dual boot.  The Win7 is clean, nothing on it.   Going to look for a 3 or 4 core CPU tonight for this machine.  They're cheaper than the Socket939 CPUs.

This has 6GB a ram, and I got 4 sticks in,  two 1Gb and two 2GB sticks...
