    It's new system time, it's been a long time since I was in the market.
    I don't do games and don't overclock. I don't need more than 3.5GB of
    memory. My current system is an AMD2700 CPU and a GB of RAM. It only
    lacks in fast IO and the new system will have multiple SATA disks.

    Can someone recommend a bargain dual core CPU/mobo SATA combo?

    4 SATA ports a plus.

    (It's going to run W2K, Vista issues are irrelevant.)


    Thanks
