Eldanor · 10th Feb 2007, 04:16 PM

actually i do .. just that i can't ever since the the era of the geforce 4 was left behind ... if there is even such era.. whats the price for that? preferably in ringgit malaysia currency... also my motherboard doesnt support pci express ... only agp 8x

The 7300GT DDR2 for AGP is still there too - The XFX series. Or you can directly get the 7600GS, but it's a little bit too expensive - RM100 more than the ordinary PCI-E. The X1600Pro is a good buy too, provided you can find that video card in AGP.

I would recommend a platform upgrade. Especially if you game...

Yeah, with the way AGP cards are selling nowadays. It seems more "economical" to just upgrade altogether.

Adrian Wong · 12th Feb 2007, 06:15 PM

Hmm.. Honestly, I think you should just upgrade to a new platform. A nice Core 2 Duo system should not set you back more than RM 4K.

If you want, you can take a look at our Christmas Buying Guide - http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.a...tno=368&pgno=0. Of course, you don't need to get an SLI system.

You can always go for cheaper solutions like an Intel P965 motherboard, an Intel Core 2 Duo E4300, and a cheap mid-range graphics card like the NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT. Go for more RAM if you can afford it.

As Adrian recommends, the best rock-solid Core system will be consisting of a Asus P5B, Core 2 Duo E4300, and a 7600GS/GT.
