I have a Dell Dimension 4600 with a NVIDIA GeForce FX5200, 128 MB. I want to upgrade to something with 512 MB, budget is $250, I am not doing gaming, and have a monitor capable of supporting 1680 x 1050 resolution. I will be working with hi-res photography, video and audio (music) editing. Can not get a new PC; just stuck with what I have for now and can afford a graphics upgrade. OS is WinXP Pro. I can find an AGP card, but wonder if PCI-E will work.

I'm purchasing a new motherboard and processor. I was thinking of getting a motherboard with a fsb of 1066MHz. When I was choosing the processor though, I can get a 800MHz one a lot cheaper than a 1066MHz one. Because the processor has a lower bus speed than the motherboard, it will operate at 800fsb right? And how big of a difference does a fsb of 800 compare to that of 1066? Should I just shell out that cash and get the processor with 1066 bus speed?

I'm debating between Linksys or D-link. But i'm not sure because I've never bought one more. I'm willing to spend in the range of 50 - 80 dollars maybe.
