Hi all
I would like to build a new comp useing my old AGP card, and as i won't be upgrading again for at least 3 years i don't need anything that is cutting edge IE PCI-E so even an old 754 set up would not bother me as long as the set up stays below £ 500 and will work well along side my leadtek 6800 , i need a
CPU
MOTHERBOARD
HARDDRIVE
RAM
CASE +PSU
Anyone got any ideas as to what would be a solid but cheapish set up as it is so confusing as to what is compatible out there thanks guys.
 
im gonna say a socket 939pin is the way to go, there are AGP boards that will accept 939 Pins so you're in luck
