Title: WTB Dual core system
Post by: kenmelk on March 13, 2006, 11:36:00 pm: Hey i know this really does not fit here, but i thought i would try it.
I want a P4 DUAL CORE MB, CPU and 2 Gig of ram, i do not want a case, storage device or anything like that. I so not want to pay like $400 for this stuff, i thought someone might have seen a good deal or have one for sale. just let me know and thanks,

the above is my dream system, but i really need to upgrade my computer, i am doing a TON of video stuff and the Athalon 1.2 is not cutting it anymore, so if you have some other setups that will work great for video editing and compiling, then PLEASE let me know!
Thanks,
KEn
