My first AMD build

[ComputerHelper]

Well I just built my first AMD based system; And I've gotta say so far its been great.

It's for my Dad who blew up his Socket 478 P4 1.6GHz PC last weekend.

Specs:
AMD Athlon X2 2.6 Brisbane
ASUS AMD NB (forget the model number)
ATi HD 2600GT
2GB DDR2 800 RAM
250 GB SATA 3.0 HDD (Seagate)
1 SATA Sony/NEC DVD Player
1 SATA Sony/NEC DVD Burner
ASUS Xonar DX PCI-e 1x

After I put it together loaded Vista and all the software I brought it to him, and when hw turned it own he siad "Holy Shit, So this is what I've been missing" then I had to teach the old man how to use Vista

If anything comes up I'll let you know

Sounds good, however I just use Intel when I build PCs now because of the performance difference. But AMD is still good for a budget build.

For under $500 thats one hell of a comp tho.
