I would think that if you added 2 gig of ram and a 660GT along with a new PSU you should be able to run just about any game out there now for awhile. The cheap 300w PSU that they probably have in there might have issues with a 6600GT. You could probably do all of that for around $260-275 if you...

Point taken. Although the way things tend to work for me I'll only be able to afford what is considered a top of the line current processor in 18-24 months ;) For what I tend to use the machine for the video card and amount of memory I think is going to be more important than pure horsepower...

Well I have been doing a lot of searching the last 2 days and I think I have made up my mind. I'm going to go with the G.Skillz DDR500 2x1gig kit that the Egg has for $157 In the hopes that I will be able to take that memory and put it into my next rig in say 18-24 months from now. If I'm...

bump...anybody?

needs to be mATX due to case constraints. the Max is a full ATX board. I noticed that ABIT DID make some matx boards though.

I have a 2.6c Northwood 533FSB stuck on an OEM board and would like to be able to take advantage of the OCing capability of it. Any recomendations for a mATX 478 board out there?

This question is a little retro folks. I have a Northwood 2.6c 533FSB proc on an OEM board with a nuetered BIOS. I would like to swap that board for a 478 mATX board that would let me get all I can out of that northy 2.6. If I can get it to 3.12-3.5 then it will give me another year or 2 of...

I was hoping you would respond ;) I have another thread that deals with my other issue that maybe you could chime in on here, as it does pertain to the memory upgrade. The MSI board this stuff is in is an OEM Medion build board. So the BIOS is nuetered. Do you think it's worth it to spend...

Well my original thought was that a pair of pc3200 512s are going to cost me close to $100 anyway and the PC4000 2x1gig GSkillz are going for $158 (and OCing quiet nicely from what I have read as well). If I could use the pc4000 in my next rig then it's a no brainer...but if your thinking that...

Need some advise. I have an older system that I'm still pretty happy with performance wise....other than the memory. P4 2.6c Northwood 533FSB 6600GT 500w PSU 512MB pc2700 2x256 I am in desparate need of a memory upgrade. This is all on an older MSI mATX board with only 2 DIMM slots...

Ok...budget based upgrade question. Below is my current setup. Northwood 2.6c 533FSB 500w PSU 6600GT AGP 512MB pc2700 all on a OEM mATX MSI board put together for Medion...therefore the Bios is basically nuetered. I added the PSU and 6600GT to keep things moving along about a year ago...
