[Grumpy]

If I am to stay with my current mobo, I'm thinking of getting a card like one of these:

6800GT's are definetly the way to go, well if you can afford it the 7800GT or gtx's are extremely nice!
But the new Raedon X1800 series are pretty much on par with the 7800GTX's and in some respects.. better.

Hes only got AGP...

Ahh yes I forgot soz!

Yeha I'd aim for the top model 6800GT then.

Just get one of those above cards....

yeah any of the above will be fine, the only differance i can see in all 3 cards was the cooling.

If you are going to replace MB, get rid of that tired old P4. Either go with socket T (New Intel) or even better, go with an AMD A64. For one it is 64-bit ( a year from now it WILL matter) and also because AMD has taken the memory processor off the MB and put it on the CPU. You will also want to go with the Socket 939 AMD. Socket 754 is (will soon be) entirlly Sempron.

your best option: trashcan

i was thinkin...
GIGABYTE GA-K8N Pro-SLI mobo---> 108
7800GT-----------------------------> ~350
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice ------> 190
then he'd be toly set for the future too_____
and be more than pimp for now------> ~650


or else just get the 6800GT, but then hed have to do more upgrading in the future
but still, trashcan is your best option.

sometimes the trashcan isnt a viable option

Look at this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813170143

It supports Socket 478 pentiums and has a PCI Express slot. However, make sure you have a SATA hard drive though..
