As my current PC at home is a little slow for the thing I use it for (compiling, folding@home - in general: working) I plan to spend some money on new hardware. I currently have following stuff in it:
-
AMD Thunderbird 1200MHz
-
Asus A7V Mainboard
-
768MB SDRAM
-
GeForce Ti5200
-
Soundblaster Live 5.1 Platinum
-
NEC 2500A DVD burner
-
some NEC DVD reader
-
2 ethernet cards (10/100M)
-
a 120GB HDD
Things I want to get:
-
1GB DDR2 RAM PC530
-
a fitting mainboard with AGP slot (… could someone please explain to me why I can’t find any mainboards with AGP slots for Socket 775?)
If I can’t find a mainboard with an AGP slot I will perhaps have to get a PCIe card :-( In this case I will probably get a GeForce 6600 or GeForce 6600 GT with 128MB RAM. I just wish I could keep my old card simply because I don’t intend to use the machine for playing but still don’t want to have to fight with ATI drivers ;-)
