RE: Your computer and desk rig.
Assassinator Wrote:The 478 pin socket is really old, and u can't really get a new motherboard for it these days(« sure u can, a really cheap one that has all the newest features and the best chipset that werent available yet when 478 was popular. and its a cheap solution). I suggest that if ur going to upgrade anyways, u might as well get something that u won't need to upgrade again in ages, something that supports all the newest features, like DDR2 ram, S-ATA2, PCI-E...

And processors these days are cheap, (u can get a processor of 3ghz equivalent power for under $50 australian which is really old) so i just suggest upgrading the processor instead of keeping the 1.7ghz one and trying to find a motherboard which has that socket.

getting the top of the range graphics card is usually a waste, as prices drop fast, and the performance/price ratio is very good. Sure, if u spend $800 on a graphics card, u'll have the best, but one year later, ur thing is not the best anymore, and is only worth $500 250 tops ... so yeah, i say get a mid range gpu. yeah like a 8600 maybe...

also, the price difference between a good PCI-e graphics card and a good AGP graphics card as u mentioned, can be quite large. That price difference can half cover the amount it takes to get a PCI-e motherboard. So i don't really think it's worth it to get AGP. + If u get AGP, u'll have trouble again the next time u want to upgrade.


Anyways, that's just my opinion. u don't have to follow any of that.


yeah u have some good points but note that i meant to get a good PCI-e graphics card and a PCI-e motherboard so he wouldnt have to upgrade everything at once, then if u have money again you can consider another new motherboard/cpu/ram but you won't need another graphics (cause u just got a good pcie one)

at least that's what im gna do

and i think 1.7ghz is certainly worth upgrading but u got to have money :P
