Hi,
I know very little about motherboards at this time. I want to upgrade my motherboard so that it has AGP8x so my new graphics card works to full potential and that it is a good quality from a good brand etc.
Ok. I have no idea about how much I should spend and I have no idea which brand to go for. I will need a motherboard which Supports the normal Pentium 4 (2.8ghz) and it should support DDR PC2700 RAM, so I can just transfer my old stuff over (if thats possible). The motherboard also needs to be ATX.
Can anybody give me any advice about which brands to go for, which price I should be looking at (I have about £80 uk money at this time) and problems which I could encounter.
I appreciate any feedback because my motherboard now (an old Gigabyte motherboard) seems like it won't be very upgradeable in terms of processors and as it only supports up to AGP4x, my new graphics card isn't performing at full speed. (although there isnt much difference between AGP4x and AGP8x).
Thanks
