Duron? Get a barton. Ive never seen neone build a laptop...where do you get the case from?

[SingaBoiy]

Yea i was thinking they should have a guide for making laptops on here. I saw it on ebay. I saw the combo for mobo and cpu, is there that much of a difference?

What currency are we talking here? Pounds? Dollars? Canadian?


I hear you can get Bartons for 100 dollars US easily, and its one hell of a lot faster than a Duron, as Bigdawg mentioned..

[SingaBoiy]

Ill look into the Barton, ive seen alot of people on this board w/ it. And we are talkin USD $.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Barton 2500XP for $80. Awesome CPU.

[SingaBoiy]

80 for the Barton (OC'd at what... 2.3?) and 30 for Syntax - SiS ATX Mobo with Audio, USB 2.0, AGP 8X and 10/100Mbps Ethernet, 5 PCI, 1 GP, 3 DDR DIMM

EDIT: that will bring total to 460 USD

I already have an 80 gig hdd (7200 rpm) and a dvd burner im gonna put it that from this system. And my TV tuner.

Do they have 1 gig memory sticks? And so where and how much?

[bigdawgfoxx]

If you dont want to spend too much, then 512Mb is PLENTY. Where did you get a case for a laptop? Can you give us a link?

[SingaBoiy]

I didnt save it But it was on ebay, believe it was refurbished or somethin. Do you have any links for 1 gig sticks? Im just curios since this thing can handle 3 gigs.
