Rising ApocalypsE
Dear friend...for playing crisis....woooooffff!
Even 8800 GTS 320 MB is also crying.....and its just demo....haven't seen the full version but this will give an idea of almost 95% about what exactly the game will be!
U can easily run on lower settings but that will not be fun enough!
My suggestion is to get an 8800 GT to play crisis!

I still have a few confusion.......
1)If I want to improve on the processor which is the best option for me from AMD X2 5000 to 5600 from value & performace pov. (5600 is the lowest one is that series with 2mb L2 cache i guess?)

2)The M2A VM is good or is there any other better option available for minimal increase of budget?

3) Whats the price of 2GB DDR2 800 Mhz these days?

4) Is colorsit good? I heard different opinions. I do attach lots of usb peripherals.
if i go for higher processor up to 5600 will the 450 watts be enough?
( As i never used the newer sata devices, whats with the issue of 'availability of sata cable in smps'?? )

lots of silly questions maybe.........
Thanx again.....

Broken In
Folks,

I know this is probably a wrong forum to post my question for information, but hoping for some luck here...

I had assembled an AMD Athlon 3200+ based system 2 years back. At that time, I had bought the ASUS A7N8X VM/400 motherboard, and had gone in for a XFX GeForce 6600GT AGP based graphics card.

Recently, the motherboard stopped working when used in conjunction with the graphics card - the AGP slot stopped working properly; when I try connecting the AGP graphics card, the display does not come. The hardware technician said that the motherboard had gone bad and that a new motherboard needed to be bought.

So, I am on the lookout for an AGP based motherboard, which can take my AMD Athlon 3200+ processor, and preferably has SATA / SATA2 connectors so that I go in for SATA based hard-disks (that my HDDs also conked off is a different story).

Will anyone be able to advise me on what model motherboards I can go in for? Your help / suggestions are greatly appreciated...

Biostar 7050 for 3300rs....very good Graphics & a great VFM.....It also supports Penryn....but the only downside is it doesnt support DUAL CHANNEL RAM.....for 3.3k it is the best...:D
