First of all, thx for spending some time to help me out.
These are my system specs:
CPU:Intel Pentium 4 1,7GHz (System Bus running at 400)
Motherboard:MSI-845 Pro (82845 Intel Chipset)
RAM:512MB SDRAM(stupid motherboard doesnt support DDR)
VideoCard:GeForce4 MX 440 (Detonator Drivers 45.23)
OS:Win XP Home
OK.So here's the deal.
The videocard sucks big time,and I need to change it.I was thinking of GeForce4 Ti,but all the money I will spent will not make for their value,'cause my motherboard doesnt support GeForce4 Ti 's AGPx8.
So,I also thought about changing the motherboard as well(how expensive could that be?),so as to get the most out of the GForce4 Ti.
BUT,only motherboards with FSB800 can support AGPx8,or at least that's what the local retailer told me.The problem is that FSB800 motherboards DO NOT support my CPU.So I thought about changing that too.
That goes too far though,and I cant afford it(unless I start bank robbery)
a)Do I really have to change all that to get a powerful videocard?
b)If the answer to that is "yes",then could you possibly suggest a decent VideoCard,that will work fine with my current hardware specifications,and will not dissapoint me when games like Max Payne 2,DOOM III,Half-Life II start popping out?Because so far,the GeForce4 has been a complete let-down.
c)If there is no such card,then could you suggest any tweaking so as to get something more out of my GeForce4 MX 440?RivaTuner hasnt been very helpful.
Thx in advance,
