yo, first time one here and i was wondering if you guys could help me out.

ive got a k7s5a V3.1, with 1GB of pc2100 and a GeForce4 4200. I have ordered a AXP 2600+ should be in in a few days:D. From what ive read my mb should be the slow link in my system right? but in reality would it make much differnece if i got a new mb? if so what one? or would it be like haveing a 8X AGP card vs a 4X? no performance increase at all... just a way for the company to get some $$$ cuz of a selling features, cuz the GPUs arent powerful enuf to use all the bandwidth. corect me if im wrong on that.

well thanks for your guys help:D

if your mobo is running fine stick with it...there is not much performance increase...at least not enough to notice...

Right on about agp 8x vs 4x...actually at low resolutions on a 4x bus cards are actually a tad faster!

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz... :cool:
