Hi all,

I currently have a Cel 900 @ 1.1GHz (very horrible FSB [130]) with a GF2MX. I'm thinking of a system upgrade of either changing the current system and getting a Epox 8KHA+ and Athlon XP 1600+ OR getting a new graphics card (most likely a GeForce3 Ti200). Don't have enuf moolah to upgrade both at once.

Any comments on this? I'm kinda stumped.

TIA.

i'd say go for the new system (intel sucks). a GF2 is enough to run most apps fairly well now...and then later on, you can get a GF3 maybe.

If it was a GF2 then it's ok, but this is a GF2MX I'm talking about. I'm afraid if I get such a powerful system, it'll make the MX the bottleneck.
