Solve : MultiMedia Pc Build?

Answer»

I thought that I was going to start building this pc.  However I went to newegg,geeks,TIGER an couldnt find a socket d.  Unless that I'm not looking for the right name for the cpu I dont know what cpu I really should use.  We have recommened that I use a duo but wondered if I still couldnt get the D socket.  I have found a good audio card, few other things that I will post later an need a good video card a cup a board an then ram.  Which sounds like alot but I BASE it around the board its self so I know what to get.so what's your question? what motherboard? what cpu?what is your budget?

what is your budget?
i think this the most important thing........socket d.  Unless that I'm not looking for the right name for the cpu I dont know what cpu I really should use.  We have recommened that I use a duo but wondered if I still couldnt get the D socket.   I have about four hundred spending cash not that Im going to spend it all at once.  Maybe get one or two thing then wait an get more.You are almost always better off waiting and buying everything at once. Prices of most computer components tend to go down in price. Then the newer PARTS cost more, Just like to have an idea then so I have it, mite get other parts that I need.There is no socket D.
I think you mean Intel's PENTIUM D line of CPUs, which use Socket 775.That mite be it, at least I thought at FIRST, appearntly I was right I think, does it have the pins on the board?  Socket LGA775 has775 pins on the "socket" which touch the underneath of the CPU.I thought so just wanted to make sure it was the right thing.Okay I did find it should I get at least a 3ghz or will a 2.8 work okay?What do you want?
A 3 or 2.8GHz what?Just if I shouldnt get 2.8 an be okay for doing this or go with something faster, which is always good.What CPU are you looking at?
