"Upgrade - how long will it last?"

Basically i am looking at upgrade as a few of you know.

I was looking at a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ but i'm now thinking bigger, now i'm looking at AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+.

I need a CPU that is pretty much going to last for 2 years or at least a while.

Thoughts? other CPU suggestions?

If they've got it in their terms and conditions that they can refuse to sell anything priced wrongly, then they can.

that camera company probably didn't

I read the article on argos, and it turns out it's because they have something in their terms and conditions that basically says 'prices on the website may not be correct, we reserver the right to refuse a sale'.

I probably could have got the mothboard but i always like to check, I mean for SR to have a CPU at a low price undercutting other companies is something very out of the blue.

But a court can have the final say on whether to uphold terms and conditions.

Well i have decided to wait till xmas, and purchase a AMD dual 4400+ and a decent motherboard with AGP and PCI-E. probably going to cost around £430 maybe a bit less.

I'll probably get a bit for me p4 2.4 and motherboard but not much.

I was thinking of going for a smaller rig so i may look in to a mini-ATX just i'm not sure that my tank of a graphics card will fit in a small case.

What-ho. Which bits of your PC are you selling, and how much? I'm looking to put together something to run BF2 and CS:S decently for now. Oh, and do work and stuff.

I'll need the bits till i get the new parts as my computer doesn't run well without a cpu and mothboard, plus i'll probably sell them to on of my family as i can get more. also i haven't a clue how much these sorts of things are worth as i normally just pass them down to my little brother, but this time they are decent still so i need to work out how much i can get for them.

I'm going to keep my ram and upgrade that a month after the rest of it.

Monkey_man if i was you i'd go for something better than this, of course it depends how much you plan on spending on a graphics card but they are going down in price all the time.
