i understood why u want it

so either upgrade completely now ... or somehow deal with ur mobo till u can upgrade

i dont think i can help u with the motherboard problem but i think i can give u a suggestion for jan 2005 u just upgrade it instead and i will tell u a good combination

asus motherboard around 8500 rs i'll tell u the mother boadrs nam enextime i post it has a ingreted ge force 4 mx and a 8x agp slot and chooese a reliable atleast 1ghz processor if u want to play doom3 and due to the agp slot u can even plung in the latest card s and play the games in all their glory well thats all i can say and the upgradtion will cost u about 1300 excluding ram if u want a fast u can opt for ddr or ddr2 or ddr3
ddr is cheap and reliable and u can sell the 256 sd ram stickk becuz u dont need it.in that way u will get the money and use it for the upgradationand for hdd u can go for 40gb for 5000 or more

Well dont know where you got the info from but ur pricing is all wrong. Asus high end mobo's come at the price u mentioned. Which mobo comes with a geforce4 MX integrated ???? I havent heard ne. DDR 3????? where the hell did that come from ??? DDR 2 itself has just been released and also a lot of the mobo's dont support it. So where did u get the info on DDR 3 ??? ur source of info ??? And dude...u get an 80GB HDD for less than 4k nowadays! Where u gettin ur info from ???????!!!

hey icecoolz did u bother to think ?
maybe hes talkin 10 yrs in the future and prices are in YEN !!! :lol:
anyways .... stick to the problem .. he isnt askin for a config yet .
and for the last time ... u wont get a mobo that supports sdram that easily anymore ..
o nforce2 DOEST NOT SUPPORT SDRAM either
heres a list of all compatible memory modules with the nforce2
AND THEY ARE ALLL DDR !

heres a look at the chaintech nforce2 with IGP chip ...
*www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=696844&CatId=1129
guess which memory it supports ???
DDR !
heres the look at the ASUS nforce2 with IGP chip
*usa.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7n8x-vm-400/overview.htm
guess which memory again ??

Raven - the thought didnt cross my mind !! Well guess thats whats called future proofing eh ? ;-) Looks like an upgrade for the mobo alone aint gonna be enuff. Looks like he'll need to upgrade his RAM too...

SDRAM??? its dead , imean its really dead. today sdram r really rare 2 find. iwud suggest u 2 buy a Nforce 2 IGP based mobo with 256mb or 512mb of DDR266. its really very cheap.
