looking at upgrading motherboard, processor, memory, and video card (still using an old v3 3k). these are what I'm looking at now, any opinions are welcome and appreciated!
video: radeon 9500 pro - 9700 is too expensive and the 9500 will do just fine - ~$180
motherboard: asus a7v8x or a7n8x - not really sure which to go with...pros and cons anyone? - ~$110-120
processor: xp 2000+ - looks to be the processor before a big jump in price - ~$90
memory: corsair 512 pc3200 or 2700 - unsure of which to get, I've read that those boards I'm looking at can't handle the 3200 and there's even a performance drop with it. anyone? anyone? bueller? bueller? - ~$165, ~$140
I know some of these options have already been beat to a pulp, but please, indulge me
