Hi all
I need to pick some brains with regards to me finally upgrading my P3 600 to something more this millenium.
I use my machine primarily for video editing, but with this upgrade am wanting to mainly use it for 3d (3ds max and maya).
After reading god-knows how many threads I've decided to go for a geForce 4200 / 128 MB (x8 AGP) card and an Athlon XP 2200 or 2400 (1.8ghz or 2.0 ghz - I think the bus speed is 266 or 333).
I need to know what motherboard to mount all this on that will have it all running smoothly together. Apparently the nForce Mobo is a good one (??) - but seeing as I've blown all my budget on the card / cpu I need a cheap option. Can you buy these items from places like Dabs or Scan already built onto the mobo?
Any advice / feedback would be greatly appreciated!
