See the AMD Phenom II 940 CPU / ECS A780 motherboard combo. http://promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/June-0-2009/7th30/index-landing.html?nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL063009&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL063009-_-email-_-E0-_-Promoword&cm_lm=jwcolby@colbyconsulting.com You are getting a fast quad core CPU and the MB is only $10 more than the CPU alone. That is a steal. And... it has the on-board graphics. Not gaming graphics but it is quite respectable. This would make an awesome dev machine. With a 4 gigs of DIMM it would cost about $250 to have a first rate FAST quad core (assuming an upgrade, and your PS is compatible). I use this processor and the same chipset (different manufacturer) for one of my two SQL Server machines. -- John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
