So here is the goal, next week I plan to spend $200 AUD to get my Athlon XP Barton a new home (its 3rd home now ) and a nice shiny graphics card to replace my somehow deformed 9600Pro which has been causing my latest gaming troubles.
Right now this backup system I am on is driving me insane, it's capped to 1.1ghz CPU and I only have a lousy 9550 256mb which according to ATItool runs 250/200mhz respectively :shadedshu
So, the components are; An Axper VT600 K7 mobo and a Palit X800GTO 256mb AGP. You think that would be a worthwhile $200 investment to tie me over till I get my new 939 system sorted out? I would also consider the XpertVision X800GTO 256mb AGP, as it is about the same price. Not looking to break records, just play games like NFS Most Wanted and CoD2, DoW Dark Crusade etc. A mild overclock of my Barton 2600+ would be nice. Motherboard has an FSB speed of up to 400mhz so I should be able to get a little extra from my CPU as it ran 1916mhz with my Asus A7S8-MX with an FSB of 233mhz.
Doh! Please move to general hardware if possible, ta. This is what sleep deprivation does to you
