Ok you all have heard my complains and trouble with my P% and my Itel Pentium D board and CPU.
Now my budget for this project is not huge, but I want to use all my stuff now in the unit like my old Live Creative Sound Card, my Nvidea 7600 256meg Video card my 329 sata HD and at least one of my Sony Vcd-cd,I will steal 3 gig (667)of ram from it I will give this junk to my daugther and let her deal with it and her windows.

Mow which will be my best choice both in board as well as cpu for running Linux right of the box.

Req. Min of Dual cora, 2.2mhz (min) at least 3 or 4 gig of ram and should acept all my cards.

My budget here in the Philippines is $300 which will be something like 800 to 1000eu in europe or $800 in the states.

Hope you guys can give me a good advice. thanks!
This will be my Xmas gift......
