Here are my system specs currently:
550Mhz Coppermine PIII O/C to 733Mhz
Asus p3v4x motherboard
256MB of PC-133 SDRam (2*128mb sticks)
Maxtor diamond max 10GB, 7200RPM hard drive
Asus v7100 GeForce 2MX (32mb) video card
17' IBM P70 monitor
D-link 10/100 ethernet
Yamaha YMF-724 PCI sound card
Motorola Surfboard SB 4100 cable modem
I am thinking about getting an asus v8420 Ti42000 (64mb) video card ($130) and a Celeron 1.2 Ghz processor (with the converter card, and with the hopes of overclocking it to 1.6Ghz by bumping the FSB from 100 to 133 same as I am doing with my current coppermine CPU) for $53
Two questions: Is there a better way for me to spend $200 to upgrade my aging system, and is there any issue running a tualitin CPU on this ASUS mobo? I am thinking this would be a very economical upgrade. I primarily use the machine for playing games.
