meron sa tipidpc.com na 2nd hand Socket A mobo for P1,100~P1,300. kaso di ako marunong magcheck kung sira na yun o hindi.

mag-Celeron na lang ba ko na-lowend? mga P5,000 lang yung processor and mobo nun e. suggestions/recommendations naman pls.

Sobrang mahal lalo na para sa isang laos at second hand na motherboard.

Siguro within a year or two, there would no more brand new boards or cpus to buy. It really depends on how fast AMD would change the socket platform (ie. socket 754 --> socket 939 --> AM2 socket?)

Mag Sempron 3000+ Socket 754 ka na lang kung nagtitipid ka and get MSI Mobo match na match sa AMD yan. Sa tibay wala kang masasabi sa MSI.

Pero kung may budget mag PCI-E ka na yun nga lang hindi mo na magagamit old video card mo.

Matagal pa yan. yun ngang Socket A ilang years bago na phase out.

pag nagpalit ba ko ng board and processor, kelangang i-reformat yung harddrive ko? me data pa kong kailangan dun e.

If you don't plan on changing your operating system, there is no need to format. What you will have to do is to update the drivers for your motherboard.

With regards to the Socket A board for P3,300, what brand and model is that?
Also, what's the speed of your Athlon microprocessor? Those answers will determine if you need to junk it and buy a new combo microprocessor and motherboard.
