let me know what u think.

nice server but won't fold all that great.

IF you can afford a little more than that I suggest you look into Daman's suggestion about going dual XP. Get youself a nice used AMD dually mobo and 2 1700xp's. If you're really set on going dually get something that will be more future proof and is alot faster. For a mp3 file server though it would be more than adequate.

Ok.. But i only have $215.00 or like $250.00 to spend.. and this is good enough till i get a job.. i am sure i can OC this to like 1gig each chip.

Let me know what you find, I'm looking for a budget dual amd system, too.

this here is a dual intel.

in hizzy fo shizzy.

i bult a dule p3 600 for $75 my friend gave me the chips and my friend bought me the hard drives but i bought that acorp mobo i have had nothing but trubble with it... it over heats reaching temps of 80º C and then freezes up at ferst i thought it was the hard drive i was useing it was an old one so i got a new one it didnt change a thing i have 3 fans in the case and a big house fan blowing on the mobo still gets hot it might just be a bad mobo but i thought i would share

I have one of these cheap Acorp mobos, a duallie, and it works great. Never had a single issue with this board. I bought it in an emergency because my other Abit board took a dump (again). Put this Acrop mobo that I bought for $35 new and it's still running. The only item I don't like about the board is it's maximum memory support.
