Under normal circumstances a AGP card would be better, but the 9200SE isnt capable of fully utilizing the AGP bus. But if you want to continue kidding yourself and if you want shell out more cash than you need to you could get any motherboard based on the i845 chipset, it doesnt necessarily have to be the ASUS P4B. |

| 277646 | 2004-10-03 06:08:00 | The thing is, the 9200SE 128MB is only $70 where I get it, and it's 128MB, but the cheapest 64MB PCI card is $95. And it's much worse by the looks of things. The cheapest PCI 9200SE (64MB) is over $150 (pricespy). I figured rather than spending an extra $80 on getting a PCI card, I could spend an extra $100 buying a new CPU and motherboard (100 is aimed cost AFTER selling old one+cpu). If my mobo+cpu sells for say $120, I could afford $220 for a motherboard and CPU. We'll see how Spacemannz deal goes. If I don't get his motherboard I'll have to add RAM to the equation. George |
