[QUOTE="fugjostle, post: 301878, member: 151"] The motherboard supports AMD Socket A with a 200 or 266FSB, which includes the Athlon Thunderbird, Duron, and Athlon XP up to 2400. I believe that most AGP8x GFX cards can happily run at 4x and some even prefer it (i.e. you get better performance). I have an 9800XT and it likes to run at 4x rather than 8x. The difference in cost is usually only important if your going to play games like Doom 3 and Halflife 2. These games use a lot of new technologies and you'll only get that type of support with the newer (and therefore more expensive cards). If your going to fork out for a top card then I would suggest waiting about 6 months and the new PCI express cards and motherboards will be appearing. These will p*ss on the current crop by at least least doubling current AGP8x speeds. Not sure if your an nVidia or ATI man but you can pick up a 9800 pro for around 120 squid if you shop around. The newer X800 and G-Force6 card have lots of new features and support that new games will take advantage of but you will have to pay a lot for em. I'd suggest buying the best if your a hardcore gamer or going for the previous best if your looking for performance at a cheaper price. If you just use word processors etc then go for something around the g-force 3 or 9600 series. Just my opinion of course. Regards, f. [/QUOTE]
