Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
What to buy first?

OK i have a AMd Anthlon xp 2400+ with 512 pc2100 and a FIC AM37 mobo <-- can only overclock to a 2.1 
, is overclocking really worth it? My friend said overclocking my processor this early isn't really worth it b/c i wouldn't see a difference? I could buy a new mobo and overclock to arund 2.4 maybe, or i can get a 9800pro, wut do u think i should do?

not as much as that 420 is bottle necking right now trust me I know I have one
btw carblow have u overclocked that 420, if so what have u gotten out of it?
I get (250) 310 core (338) 390/400 mem
Why would you want to put an 8X card into a 4X bus? Even assuming it will even work, which it may not.
Get the new mb, new ram, and a video card at the same time. If you are low on $$ then get the ATi 9600 Pro. Your old PC-133 or PC-2100 ram is not going to work well (if at all) in a Nforce 2 mb.
BTW, are you a native English speaker?
Also why are you asking pretty much the same questions on several differfent threads?

what does that say about the bus speed?
Well I was considering the bus voltages. Some mb's and some cards don't mix. My ASUS mb has a warning light LED that lights when you put in an incorrect AGP card. I believe it has something to do with some cards being 1.5v and others being 3v or something along those lines.
As far as the bus speed goes I suggest you read it at the horses mouth: http://www.intel.com/technology/agp It isn't a marketing ploy

I decided to do some more study on this AGP bus thing. When I got my A7N8X board I remember having to get a new VC as well as new memory (for the 400 FSB OC). It seems that the 8x cards will go in earlier AGP busses, though that may not be the case if you are trying to put say a 2x or 4x VC in a newer 8x mb. It seems to depend on whether you have an AGP version 3 spec or an Universal version 3 spec. I like to keep things fast and easy so I picked up a 9600 Pro when I made the change to the A7N8X-Dlx board.
However, the 9800 Pro is still going to run like shit in a 4x board as your throughput is cut in half as compared to an 8x board.

Ran across a nice page that explains the complexities of AGP. See: http://www.3dlabs.com/product/compatibility.htm
