They wouldnt offer it on their site if it doesnt work, unless they're jackasses.

that integrated xpress 200 kind of sucks. http://www.tomshardware.com/motherbo...xpress-15.html

You can see how the x600 used in the above benchmarks compares to other cards here http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...charts-03.html

Actually, the vid card I recommended is PCI Express...oops! Well, at least I didn't actively recommend a case with a power supply that will catch fire if you look at it the wrong way.

I recommend a 5900se, they overclock easily to regular 5900's, which are still faster than a 9600xt...and cheaper.

I've bought from chiefvalue before, decent store.

The PCI mobo in based athlon 64 in that site comes out cheaper than the AGP....lolz?

If it wasnt for financial issues, which would you recommend, AGP8X or PCI-E? (they ont have the gf 5900 se =( )

Probably PCI Express...but you'd also need to buy a 939 processor with it, and it will be too expensive.

Agreed. With a 939 you are looking at around 800 bucks for a pc.

Mantra: My cost of the machine was 550. with an extra 40 I could get a nice thermal take case =[ And I have never had one of those cases catch fire.

One more thing. Stay away from 5900s especially the SE edition. They are horrible videocards. a 5600 can out perform one. The 5900s are the most bug infested cards I have ever seen.

I guess i might go with either the Radeon 9600 XT or Geforce 6200 turbocache


Either way im gettign a 939 mobo instead of 754, I heard that jAMD is not gonna update on 754 anymore so the next chipsets will be on 939

Ok. Well then you wont be going with a 9600 xt. I would say go for the 6600 Ultra. 120 bucks. And its pcie 16x. Ill see if I can build you a system in a few hours. I expect mantra will also.

This is probably a stupid question, but are you getting a PCIe board?
