TSGL: Foxconn motherboard

[Steve Locke]

Don,
Specs look good except would be nice to have a 19" LCD.  My Honey just 
bought me a 19" ViewSonic LCD and is it nice compaired to my old 17" CRT. 
Price was $240.  Athlon is OK.

| I'm considering buying a used computer (clone) with the following specs, 
to
| replace my aging and very basic Celeron2000:
|
| AMD Athlon3200 chip
| Foxconn Mother board  IGPSK7MA-ERS
| 1Gb RAM
| 180 Gb HD.
| N-Vidia graphics card.
| Superior case.
| Flatscreen Viewsonic top-of-range 19" CRT monitor (brand new)---I may 
elect
| to pay an extra $A100 for LCD.
|
| Does anyone have any recommendations, for or against, these specs?  I'm 
not
| familiar with either Athlon chips ( I see the 3200 is actually 2000 GHz
| speed---is this a fair comparison, or marketing hype?) nor Foxconn mobos,
| and I can't find any reviews of this mobo.
|
| At the price being offered, it's a much cheaper alternative to upgrading 
my
| present computer, or buying a  new clone.
