In short, I want to update the video card, processor, motherboard, memory and hard drive ... So, offer your options, but do not forget about the budget ...
Definitely take your mom on a 965 chipset or 975, but with Conroe support. Well, you can immediately take the E6300, the youngest model of the series, which makes it like an infant without overclocking AMD x2 3800+, and with acceleration (1.5-2 times with air cooling), it is already top AMD. The budget is likely to fit. Well, the memory needs 2 strips of 512 DDR2 533 in dual channel, and the disks are in the raid: rolleyes: This is how you get the brutal performance for little money.

Pentiums and AMD do not take, they are already outdated. Slow, very hot ... Especially since the budget allows the conroy to buy.

Well, forget the measure video card performance megabytes. A good option - prices :) Well, ideally - the bandwidth of the memory bus and pipelines.

And further. Now there is a mighty decline in prices for all Pentium and AMD. So, if the budget goes down, you can wait.

Go to 3dnews.ru, IXBT.ru, overclockers.ru and read about core 2. I especially liked the article "Core 2: shock and awe" :)
