Ark Of Thought Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 My motherboard doesn't have an AGP slot (thanks dell) so I'm buying a new motherboard, case and vid card. My budget is 200$ and this is what I have so far: Ahanix Ultra-compact tower ATX Case Model G20 - Retail 15$ @ New Egg Epox EP-4PEAD Socket 478/ Intel 845PE/FSB 533/8X AGP/Audio/ ATX Motherboard 60.95$ @ House of Computers ATI RADEON 9600 256MB DDR AGP 8X TV OUT / DVI 118.85$ @ House of Computers Is that a smart choice? Do you know of anything cheaper? Thanks! Link to comment

True Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Too late for my $.02.... should've noticed this earlier. Honestly, if you're not going to be doing any huge math work, you wasted your money. P4/1.8ghz 'eh... You could've had a box at at least 3000+ (should you not mind overclocking) with decent enough video to hold you over until you can get a good card for $200 I dont know... Link to comment
[KFC] Smeg Head Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 U do get some ppl though how aint got a clue on how to overclock their computers. But ive found some srange ppl who decided to have nitro pumped through their comps to make em faster...but then needed a huge coolant system... Link to comment
