I had a 2.4 ghz p4, going to shove a 3.2 chip in it because the old one died. $40-60 ?

Buying 2 gig of 333mhz DDR SDRAM from ebay $30 – 60?

But I’m stumped on the the gfx card – I have a PCI slot and an AGPx4 slot. Any cheap suggestions?

You’ll most likely be limited to an nVidia card, possibly a Geforce 6200 card 256mb or 512mb one. Should cost about $70-$90 without shipping.

You could try to scope out some x1700 Ati cards but I dont recommend them since the older Ati cards sucked balls.

Your an inbecile full stop.

Does AGPx8 work in AGPx4 slots? Google gives mixed responses..

For example would a geforce 6600GT work in my computer?

Woow that is an old box lolzoms. 333mhz ddr ram???!!!!

Anyways…1GB kingston $60-80 would be sufficent to run both your PC and a 6600GT $70-130 card on that motherboard. Assuming you have a decent power supply (~350W should do). Id leave the PCI slot for something else you might want to connect in the future and use up the better alternative for you graphics card.

Hope that helps.

Hey mess think about getting a 400W power supply aswell. If your current PSU is older than 5yrs then it’ll slowly start juttering and failing.
Last thing you would want is to replace your CPU, add more ram + GPU just to have it all fry in a PSU failure.

I overlooked power supply – is it really that important to get a 400w one?
