Hi i am new here and i dont know much about processors.. So i have this motherbord Gigabyte K7 Triton GA-7N400 Pro..
I know know it is a piece of junk and old.. But right now i can't change this motherboard because i would have alot of problems.. So here the thing i would like you to suggest me some Processors for this motherboard ofcourse if its possible( i hate my old motherboard ) So what do you suggest ? Because mine AMD Athlon 3200 XP is so outdated that i can't even start some of good new games..

Oh in case you need my card is Radeon 1950 pro 512 mb.. And 1.5 gb DDR 1 Ram dual channel.. Your help is really apreciated ..

Ohh an also in case if i cant put any better processor on this motherboard i would like to know if there is a motherboard that can support AGP and PCI express .. Because i cant change my motherboard to PCI Express bevause i would have to change my video card .. because it is AGP and i dont want that because i just bought it last summer.. Amd i cant buy a AGP motherboard because agp is old and they dont make cards for agp anymore. .

Here's an Intel board which supports AGP and PCI-E

I didn't see any AMD which support both but I only looked at Newegg so they might be out there somewhere.

This is the CPU list for your board

The Athlon XP 3200+ is the fastest processor you can use with that board.

You would be best off saving for a little while and just doing a new build and getting rid of your old tech (AGP, DDR, Socket A)

Asrock also did a dual 939 board, with a AM2 daughter card. Not sure if its available any more.

IIRC, the uli chipset in use by ASRock for these boards is the only solution which *doesn't* incur performance penalty for either/both graphics ports. (I had the ASRock 939Dual-Sata2, it was an awesome board )

However, you would be limited to the now dead socket 939 if you went with this option.

ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 LGA 775 VIA PT880 Pro has a agp 8x and PCI E 4x .. So what PCI Express uses new cards? PCi express 16x ? Well i am asking if i wont get any problems with that PCI expres 4x ? are there any good cards that uses it?

And btw i heard there are some kind of chips or ports then you can put better processors... well i dont know i juist heard something like that...

Ohh and this is some kind of motherboard that supports both ..

But its kind a old right?

The slot is physically the same as a 16x slot but is just limited to 4x speeds and except for the highest end cards at super high resolution won't see a difference between 4x and 16x. The problem I see with the board is that is officially only supports up to 1066FSB but depending on it's overclockability you could pair it with the E2160 or E2180 for $69.00 or $70.00 for a total of around $140. When I suggested it I didn't realize it also supports DDR 400 (PC3200) as well as DDR2 667 and as long as the memory you have is DDR 400 all you would need is the board and a CPU to give you an upgrade path rather than a dead end.
