Well, its come time that i joined the forum to find the answers to my questions. Here's my current specs:
*EDIT-ASUS AK77-333* Mobo, capable of 133-137 fsb, unstable beyond
AMD XP 2000+
1GB DDR 2700
MSI Ti4400
Soundblaster Live!
8x DVD+-RW etc...
and i'm looking toward $500-600 for a suitable upgrade. Now, if you don't know, Zipzoomfly.com has a Soyo dragon socket A mobo for $15 after rebates, really making me consider buying a 3000+ for $157 more, and then go for a 6800GT. But where is the most performance going to come from?!?! An upgrade in the graphics card will be near useless w/o a new cpu, and most likely it will be 400 mhz fsb so i'll need new mem to go with it. What do you guys suggest?? And are soundcards at all relevent anymore with a good mobo these days?
