Would like to know what could be the cheapest CPU (AMD Sempron) + mobo+ RAM (max 2GB)combination.
I wish to upgrade my standby PC, (based on Athlon XP & more than 6 yrs old) to this one.
all other components like cabinate, SMPS, HDD(PATA) etc to be reused. This pc won't be used more than avg 1 Hr / week hence looking for very basic/cheapest options.

1hr/week is nothing, its as good as saying you don't use it. So why bother wasting money? Get some cheap Celeron + compatible board + ram (all used)..

I don't think this mobo has any PATA ( IDE ) connector - so if Op wants to upgrade he should look for Biostar N68S+ @ 2.4k.

@ OP - like rajnusker has indicated - if your 6 years pc is working OK then why waste money and upgrade to a rig which will be used for 1hr/week and may offer similar performance in browsing, office apps etc. ??
