I have a computer that is mainly used for office apps, photo editing, etc. However, I also like to use that computer for playing UT lan games. It is currently an AthlonXP 2000+ w/ a GeForce3 card. I am going to upgrade it to an Athlon64 system. The use of this system will remain the same, so I want to spend little or no money upgrading the graphics. Therefore, I have been looking at the following two options for motherboard & video. Which one would be better for playing the original UT? Also, I'm thinking about getting UT2004, so would either of these options be able to play that?

Option 1: Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 w/ GeForce3
Option 2: Epox EP-9GF6100-M w/ onboard GeForce6100

Thanks for your input!

Your best option would be the ASROCK board and discrete geforce3 - integrated video sucks.

But a used 9700 PRO for $40 on ebay would be light years ahead of a Geforce 3.
