I know this may not totally belong in the video cards topic, but im curious to know how much a motherboard with a pcie slot, and with a Nvidia Chipset is. But i want a fairly good one!! I just upgraded my computer last week..cuz my last one was slow as hell...slow enough to say its embarrasing to even say on here what it was lol...anyways...i did upgrade my computer...with limited money...i got a new ASRock shitty motherboard with an AMD Sempron 2400+ running at 1.67GHz (cost was about 145USD). I know that board is not much...and it will be pitiful in a very short time, if not it almost already is...i didnt really have the money...now comes to next week...when i will have the money to pick up another board. Now my ASrock is considered used...but used only for 1-2 weeks...now with trading in back my board i have now (1.67ghz), and another 170-220 USD bucks or so on top of that. Whats a good Nvidia chipset motherboard i could buy with a AT LEAST a half-decent AMD processor and with a pcie slot...screw AGP...looks to me AGP is dying...and odds are they wont go back to it.. ...from whati see...if i really wanna upgrade my comp...ill wait another month or 2 and buy a DAMN good video card to go with this board...one that uses a pcie slot, and one that wont be outta date in 6months to a year. Thanks for any input. And how much would they give me back do you think for that 1.67ghz amd board i just bought?

Thanks for your help:)

How much do you think ill get back for the board I just bought? I bought it about 1-2 weeks ago at about 130-135USD. The basic specs are in my first post above. Thanks....

please note this would be a trade in for one of the boards above in the second post (Nvidia chipset board).
