I think in the mean time, u should upgrade your ram to 1gb first. Then save enuff funds to get a new pc.

Well to add some more to the confusion, the Intel latest Core 2 Duo E6300 processor is only 1.86Ghz but alot faster than PentiumD 3Ghz.

But i'm guessing that sihumchai's proc is S754 instead of S939. If so, then there's currently no PCI-e mobos for S754 . Even if they do, it's very rare.

Hmm... buying a PCI-E S754 seems like a waste in the long run. Maybe if you're tight on a budget, why not just buy an AGP card and add more ram? There's some good AGP cards in bulk section here. The X800XT is good enuff, even the 7600GS is as good. I'd suggest u to get the 7600GS AGP card since it supports the latest pixel shader 3.0.

I would still prefer 7600GT over X1650 anyday. Anyway, there is a 7600GT AGP, saw it in czone's pricelist at RM710 or so. I'd suggest the 7600GS earlier coz if u spent too much on gfx but the system can't keep up then a bit waste also. Just to keep a balance btwn all subsystem.
