| 124330 | 2003-02-27 06:56:00 | Hi I wanna make a new computer to upgrade from my: Intel 733mhz p3 Intel 815EEA motherboard Creative Geforce 2 mx400 64mb Creative SoundBlaster audigy through NAD power amp 512SDRAM 20gig Fujitsu ATA100 I want to upgrade to a Athlon 2000XP+ Leadtech Geforce 4 Ti4600 128mb DDR 512Mb PC2700 DDR SDRAM I have not decided on a motherboard. Basically i want to get best bang for buck. Would a new hard drive improve preformace? What are good brands (no 'knock offs" please)? What are some good motherboards? The man purpose for this computer is computer games. I think that my SB audigy should be sufficient for now. Any help would be much appriciated. Thanks in advance dylan |

| 124333 | 2003-02-27 07:05:00 | Yeah, socket A and the motherboard must also include AGP 8X to support the GF 4Ti. | Dylan (800) | ||

| 124336 | 2003-02-27 07:46:00 | nup.. dont buy a Soltek there boards are no good now days. Either check out the Abit NFS-S or the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe and the GigaByte 7VAXP Ultra is also a good board. The ASUS board is a tad on the expensive side but offers the best preformance, the Abit is the cheapest and my personal prefernce with good o'c potential and great features. The Gigabyte board uses a different chipset but offers RAID. either of these board are good and offer a very upgradealbe base to any new build. Dont skimp on the mobo only buy quality and a board that does exaclty wot u want. Abit NF7-S, NVIDIA nForce2 chipset, FSB 333MHz, Dual DDR400/333, AGP 8X, Serial ATA, IEEE1394, USB2.0 ASUS A7N8X Deluxe, NVIDIA nForce2 chipset , DDR400, AGP 8X, USB2, for AMD CPU GigaByte 7VAXP Ultra, VIA KT400 chipset , DDR400, AGP 8X, USB2, for AMD CPU check on http://www.pricespy.co.nz for the best prices in NZ |
