Hi there, new to the site, my first post! Hope you all can help me out!!
Ok firstly, i've currently got a reasonable setup that a i purchased a few years ago, has done me proud so far but think its time to look at upgrading now! Heres the current Rig;
AMD Athlon XP Mobile 2500+ clocked to 3200+
DFI NFII Ultra Infinity Motherboard
1Gb Geil Golden Dragon DDR400 RAM
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb AGP 8x Graphics
2x WD Raptor 36Gb SATA in RAID0
Seagate 80Gb SATA
Seagate 160Gb SATA
Sony DVD+-RW
All powered by an Antec TruPower 430w PSU
Now, im looking to change the Motherboard, CPU & RAM. Dont really want to have to change the graphics card at the moment as its still pretty OK for what i use it for.
Right, so im looking for this in a board;
1. LGA775 Dual Core Capable - From what i've read these are alot better than the AMD X2 equivalents?
2. Either an AGP slot or a built-in Graphics chip that will be similar spec to my 9800 Pro
3. SATA 300
As for budget, nothing stupidly expensive! Looking to spend around £50-60 will go more if needed!
Thanks!
