buy some nVidia AGP. ATI with chipset VIA is bad. And OC your CPU ;-)

Hi, do you still need help here?

I have an nvdia7900 gx card & a 4 yr old system, graphics are great. Whatever card you have, i can help you by talking you through 'how to get the max' out of it. I'm no techie but have learnt a lot from others & am willing to share this info.

just let me know. :wink:
