Greetings all!
I have decided it's time for my Abit BH6 system to retire. Originally, I had the famous BH6 & Celeron
300A @ 450, then upgraded a year or so back to a Celeron 2 550 @ 850. What a great mobo - however I picked up an ASUS V8200 Deluxe video card (to replace my aging Canopus Spectra 2500 16 mb TNT) and realized the BH6 mobo only supports AGP 2x. I am on a bit of a budget (the video card killed me) but would like some suggestions for a new mobo/cpu/ram setup. I am leaning towards an AMD Athlon 1.13 GHz 133/266 and 256 mb of DDR ram. I have no idea which mobo to get. Any commentary on the pros/cons of Rambus vs. DDR & AMD vs. Intel is welcome! Do u think I made a wise choice with the Asus Geforce 3 video card? I have heard a new version is coming out in a month? Should I return the card and wait for it?
Thanks in advance!
