Hi Liquor,

Here's your: mobo and here are details of the CPUs it supports.

With all due respect to the other contributors here, my advice would be not to bother with upgrading your graphics card because as you can see from the specs, the mobo only supports AGP 4X. That means that your current card is being slowed down by the motherboard to the 4X clock speed which is only 275Mhz as opposed to 412Mhz or more for a AGP 8X card (which is what yours is capable of running at). This translates into far fewer frame rates per second in games, especially in MP games and you'll often experience stuttering because the GPU can't process the amount of data it's receiving fast enough.

So if you propose to upgrade with a new MBD, CPU etc., my first question is going to be, how much do you want to spend?

Ehm sorry ?? since when does AGP speed (4x, 8x etc.) actually make a difference ? last time I checked difference between 4x and 8x was less than 0.5 % (practically zero if you take benchmark fluctuations into account)

Hi Boran,

As already mentioned in my post on that subject, the difference is in the clock speed, or to be a little more precise, the strobe rate. In 3D accelerated games, the speed at which the data can be processed is governed by the strobe rate. The slower the strobe rate, the less frames per second will be processed and it's that particular factor that decides whether the gaming experience will be a smooth one or not particularly in complex scenes like those in Far Cry for example. At AGP 4X, the strobe rate has a ceiling of 275Mhz whereas at 8X, the figure is 412Mhz or higher.

Different spelling. He either got banned or this person is a fake.
