Hi all,
I curently have the following specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2800, 2.09 GHz
1GB RAM
GeForce FX5900 (126MB, AGP)
I would like to upgrade to an AMD 64 processor but have been made aware that I would have to also upgrade my motherboard. I'm fine with that, however to save money I would like to keep my other devices (primarily my graphics card and memory). My confusion comes when looking for motherboards, I have found it hard to find any motherboard that have an AGP expansion, they all seem to be PCI. I thought that AGP had become standard for graphics. Some of the motherboards have integrated graphics which are better then my card in some cases however I would like to upgrade in the future and am not sure that PCI graphics is the way to go.
Does anyone have any advice, maybe a few good websites that have a good stock of computer conponents. Finally is there any benifit to choosing a particular socket motherboard e.g. 939, 754 etc.
Thank you in advance
Steve
