First my current setup:
OCZ 520W PS
Abit AV8
FX-55
2GB of ram (4x512)
Geforce3 (X850XT died on me)
SB audigy 2 ZS plat
Now my problem. I have to RMA my X850XT to newegg but they no longer have my card in stock. More then liekly they are going to give me a refund. I thought perhaps now would be a good time to move to PCI-E.
I was thinking of going with the DFI HERE since I have no need for a SLI setup. Since I know 4x512MB memory configs are somewhat bad for AMD setups I was thinking of trying to get a 2x1GB kit, however, if I can't get to it now, will this board handle 4x512mb ok??
I was also thinking of getting a 7800GT instead of another x850 or perhaps even then GTX, I would asume my PS will be enough??
Now if by some chance newegg were to send me a differnet agp card, I need some ideas for a differnet motherboard. I have had a NEO2 in the past and for the most part it worked fine but the temp reading issue started to piss me of. Plus, newegg no longer has the NEO2.
I do plan on overclocking, tho my FX-55 can only do 2.9Ghz max. Is the DFI board above ok or is there another board I should consider? Anyone else got any ideas on a better way to go about this?
