Wrong, But seriously you should invest in new tech instead of old old tech.

He is right.... take that money and put it towards a 775 or a AM2 motherboard

i dont have the money for that to buy new crap so i'm looking for a agp8x sdramm board so i can use my cpu, gpu ect on it

Thats why you save the money... 80 euro is a good start

google "socket 478 motherboard" and you find whats out there and where to buy it.

there are only 3 or 4 boards left that are made for the 478 and they are all micro atx

That Sempy will beat the older P4s and its cousins to their grave.

May be worth looking into switching to ddr,may be able to find a less expensive motherboard and get a 1GB pc3200 stick.

hmm i might bether buy a new comp there is no schipset that supports sdram pc133 and agp8x

Seriously save your money and invest, theres no point to buy what you want now because its basically useless not to be mean. You can get a cheap as dirt am2 dual core combo or like someone offered on here some really cheap stuff we sell in the buy/sell/trade part of the forum.

^Agree.

Still I would find a motherboard like the Asrock DualVSTA and grab a new CPU as well as RAM.

 

[keakar]

here is all they sell for that 478 socket, so its your only choice other than a new system.

$35 for new motherboard : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138262R

$45 for new ram to go with motherboard : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820141212

plus there is nothing made that works for pc133 ram, the only sorce for that is scrap bins

So will you roll with AMD or Intel when you change.

 

[Morgoth]

intel

 

[grunt_408]

intel

I agree. I am an intel fan myself.
Although I am sure plenty would argue that AMD are better

Sometimes it better to save and start again, then basically trying to upgrade an old system (sorry, but its true)

Like Ive said before, "you cant polish a turd"
