Help me with the cheapest CPU Configuration.... ;-)

[vickybat]

I recommend upping the budget a little bit and going for amd e350 barebone or the brazos platform. Its best for casual computing and also has potential to deliver a rich multimedia experience.

spend 100 more & get corsair Ram which is a much better option. All the corsair rams come with limited life time warranty which is actually 10 years.

Get the motherboard as mentioned by Jaskanwar. Get this processor. Yes it's way over budget but very much recommended
AMD ATHLON II X2 260

gigabyte has better build quality.it has 1gbps/1000mbps lan which is 10 times faster than 100mbps lan on jetway.it has 760G graphics which is newer & better than geforce 6200 graphics on jetway.it has an extra pci-e 1x slot.it has 6 sata ports while jetway has only 2.it has dvi-d video output port which jetway is missing.

I know it's a old thread. But, curious. Had anybody got success with unlocking Sempron? Will the Gigabyte board facilitate that?
