Hello everyone!! Iam new here n just signed up today. Im really lookin forward to this site. Nywayz, iam thinkin of upgrading my mobo and video card. I currently have an i810 motherboard which doesn't have an AGP slot. It does have onboard 3d video and sound though.
I have a Pentium 3 700Mhz 128 mb ram pc. However, i want to upgrade my motherboard to one which has more slots(it must have an AGP SLOT!!). Also, iam confused as to which card to buy. Im interested in the Ge force 2mx400 as thats the only one that i want( it should have dvd acceleration with tv output n stuff). The prob is that there are 2 versions of the card available...theres one which is pci compatible n another one which is agp compatible.
Since i have an inter i810 mobo...i think i can install the pci card on it...but iam confused about the performance differences between pci and agp cards.....ive heard that agp cards are better than pci cards....but what if theres 2 choices ......like a pci and an agp card from The geforce 2mx400 series...which one would be better then? For more info on these cards goto this site...

I want to know i i should upgrade my mobo or buy the pci card n let it be
If i have to upgrade my mobo then..pls tell tell me which one to go for...iam thinkin bout somethin like an i815e mobo....but the prob with the i815e mobo is that it only supports computers up to 1ghz or somethin...what would i do in the future ...say if i wanted to upgrade my processor to speeds over 1ghz or somethin...iam basicly lookin for a mobo that would suffice the processor speeds from 700mhz to 1.6ghz ....it should also have on board sound on it...
PLS recommend me the right mobo n video card to buy...
thanx
