This is cheaper than upgrading just the AMD 2000+ XP, 32-bit processor in my kids’ older nForce2 system. An article I’ve read about ESC mobo’s in general stated that they’re great if you’re not planning to overclock.
Sempron 3100+ NFORCE3 Motherboard @ Outpost (http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4705559?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG)
It comes with an OEM processor so may wish to purchase a CoolerMaster CPU cooler here (http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4446386?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG) for $12.99.
Here’s a deal with the same motherboard but I believe it comes with a boxed AMD Sempron Processor 2800+ processor (includes CPU cooler) for $79.99. Call to make sure it’s a boxed processor.
