Hi

I am looking to upgrade my motherboard and graphics card. I've narrowed it down to 3 choices for the graphics card (I have about £110 GBP to spend on it) but ain't got a clue about the motherboard.

Don't laugh my current setup is :-

Cpu - AMD 2200xp
Memory - 768mb
motherboard : Asus A7S333 (close to 4 years old now)
gfx : Geforce2 Ti200 (no comment lol)

The 3 gfx card choices.

1. If you read some of the reviews this card has a helluva lot of potential.

2. The seasoned pro, the 9800

3. A 9800 pro beater, but an extra £20

As for the motherboard I have no idea which one to get but I do know I only wanna spend about £35 cuz I'll probably upgrade to a 64bit setup in about a year.

Any suggestions would be great

p.s. I have just found a mobo i think this one will be ok.

Well since your not spending much on the mobo that MSI board will do fine!
That 6800LE is a very nice card and will do the job for quite a while!
I'm guessing the mobo is just a 'quick fix' ?

Yeah ur right as I'll probably upgrade to a 64bit setup in about a year.
 
Get the 6800LE, in testing it can often out perform the 6600GT as it's got a 256-bit memory controller which helps. It's also very cheap, you could probably save about 10-20 pounds on the LE if you find a good deal. In USD it's about $125, damn cheap.
The mobo will be fine if you'll upgrade next summer. Good luck.
