Will this work together?

Any opinions on this? I could upgrade to a 6600GT card but dont know if its worth the $80.

That board does not have a PCI-E video card slot. Either get a different board or get an AGP video card.

Do not get any video card with 64bit memory. They are very slow.

Yes, the 6600GT is worth it.

The CPU, ram, and mobo will go together.

u really should buy the 66gt for agp slot instead of 66. huge difference in speed. later on u may like to buy a second module of 512MB Ram. gives a nice kick in loading times and performance.

hmm, i kow u want to keep the price low, but think about an socket 939 system with a winchester CPU instead of Newcastle. I guess the COU would cost the same, id suggest to buy a winchester 3000+ and i cheap board liek the ECS KV2 Extreme or an ABIT AV8. Dunno whats cheaper. winchester offers u 3% more speed compared to newcastle of the same clock rate, less power consumption and less heat. the board may be 20$(?) more but its worth the lil extras imo. think about it

ye, and s939 would give u more opportunities to upgrade ur pc later...like a 2nd ram module, as the 939 has dual channel mode, which can give some percent of speedup in certrain games and software, not a huge deal but if u want to upgrade u gonna recognize the difference. and there wont be any new CPU`s coming out for socket 754, so in a year or two u can easily upgrade or sell the board to someone who wants to upgrade...if the board aint that much more expensive u maybe like that advice.

Skip the sis chipset, and go with nforce3 for asus or epox. The asus board is about $84 and the epox $70, both at newegg. The 2800 socket 754 should overclock to about 2.2 or 2.3 with an nforce board.
