Low Budget Mobo UpGrade

[eijmaster]

I'm currently looking for a mobo to replace my MS-6378X-L. The main reason for the upgrade is an AGP slot (I have a Radeon 9200 128mb AGP 8X laying around). My goal is to find a mobo compatible to my current CPU + Memory. Money is very tight right now so I can't afford new RAM ect. but I love FPS games!

Current setup:

32IN LCD WESTINGHOUSE
AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (OC'D 2000+)
MS-6378X-L
PC-133 SDRAM 512MB (OC'D 150)
ATI DIAMOND PCI 9250 256MB

Any links or suggestions will be much appreciated!

Here is a board that will work with your card, BUT, you'll have to upgrade your ram. Dude they dont even sell that ram anymore or make motherboards that support it.

-United States
-I found many boards that fit my request, but with upgraded RAM. I don't want to upgrade my memory unless I have to ($$).

Ok maybe you typed something wrong, review your last post..

I think he said that he found alot of good AGP boards but he doesn't want to upgrade his RAM i guess cause it costs money...Mind telling your budget?

^^^ exactly. $50 for the mobo and (if I have to) $30 for a 512mb RAM chip. Basically as cheap as possible. This is just a temp setup until my next desktop build.

ok so if you already found the mobo(s), what's the dog on problem. Because if you know your ram is pc 133 or w/e it is than you know to look for mobos with pc133 right, common sense factor.

I only have found mobo's that require DDR memory. I can't use my current memory with "those" mobo's. I've been searching myself and haven't had any luck. I was hoping someone else on this forum would have some luck finding one.

you know what, screw it. I'll just frikken upgrade the RAM
