I'm looking for some opinions on this, I plan on reusing some peices of my old dead computer to keep the price within my budget. My problem is agp or pci-e.
Price ends up about the same, so its not a factor. Sli isn't a factor either, can't afford it.
1. Pci-e and amd are still sort of in its infancy. While the agp 939 boards have been around long enough to work out the bugs and come out with some nice mbs.
2. Pci-e boards that are out seem to be 3 pci slots, 1 will have to be used for a wifi card, leaving me with 2 slots for future use.
3. Agp is being replaced by Pci-e, so apg cards are slowly going away, and will probably be phased out before I replace the vid card.
4. Pci-e is the winner in performance for price area.
5. I don't really like the few pci-e motherboards that I've found
It all ends up pretty equil in my opinion, so other then flipping a coin I'm not sure how to decide. I wanted to go with a 939 setup so I can get the smaller .09 nm die size, mainly for the lower heat. So tell me what you guys think.
