Both yes and no. It all depends. Most "A" systems have died this horrible death of failing caps.
In other word's, they have been thrown out. Some of the good ones have survived.
Socket-A is more or less uncharted territory from my point of view.
What I do know, is that you need to stick with premium brands on this.
Another thing that are an issue here, are the PSU question.
As I understand it. SocketA are one of the hardest platforms to track down PSU's for.
I can't really give you the best advice on a good PSU. Other members can do it better
than I can, when we are talking about this topic. Wich are really funny, as I used to
build 12/14 computers each day, from late 2003 to early 2006.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
