Looking at upgrading my ASUS A7N8X Setup.

Its an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe GOLD-UAY 400Mhz FSB
Ser No 34ZGOSO885
Part No 90-M7A622-GOUAY
CPU is an AMD Athlon 2800 @ 2.09Ghz (Reported in System Properties)
2 x 256MB DDR PC-333
Graphics MSITI4200 8X 64MB DDR

What upgrades would you recommend to this Mobo, keeping the Mobo.
 
personally...other than going to 1 gig of ram or a new vid card....save your
money till U have enuff for a new build.I have an A7N8X-Deluxe rev 2.0
runing a Barton 2500 at 215x10...I am going to build a new 939 soon.It does
not make any sense to spend money on the older units when the newer stuff is
coming down in price.

I believe the fastest CPU this will take is the 3200, so not enough
difference to make it worth doing.

Additional RAM would be worthwhile. Graphics card - if you are a
gamer then you could add a 6800 BUT this will cost and then couldn't
be transferred to the newer Socket 939 motherboards which take
PCI-Express cards.

So, apart from additional RAM, I would regard this board as end of
line in terms of upgradeability.

As everyone says - upgrade the memory.

I would think that your XP2800 with 1GB of RAM should run better (on
average) than a 3200 with 256MB of ram.

What type/make of RAM should I upgrade with, currently using two of three
Mem Slots, in order to go to 1 GB what's the best route / configuration.

Thought this was a great board that's why I bought it, sad to hear that its
lifexed already only bought it about two years ago........bloody progress

What about O Clocking?

the best bet for ram..is 2 buy a pair of 512's..
have heard of a few problems with just adding 512 to your 2 -
256...OC'ing...then you need to buy Quality Ram..Corsair TwinX or
OCZ(egs)...and some good cooling
