Well hello folks... i have a P4 2.8ghz compaq sr1130il with 1.2 gb of ram...
its got only integrated intel graphics (Intel extreme:lol
...
does not have an agp or pcie slot (thanks to compaq )....
i've used it for over 4yrs now... replacing it is not an option for me... i have an option of getting a mobo with an agp 8x slot and the same socket 478 setup as in my existing cpu.
The one more advantage i will have is my RAM will also work at its highest speed (currently my pc3200 ram is working at pc2100 speed again thanks to compaq)
the board is available for rs1750... i also checked out agp graphics cards and a 512mb card (ati x1650) is available for ~3k.... this card is able to run nfs most wanted at an average 35fps at full settings @1024x768 (btw this is my fav game)
and it can also run 1080p HD with only 70% cpu utilization, currently even playing 720p videos will use >85% of the cpu....
(currently i can even imagine true HD videos, even certain sites like jibjab's videos make my system squeal :lol:
)
so tell me is it worth it going in for the mobo change and then for the card, plz tell me are the prices fine?
PS: The board is 3yrs usedbut the card is new...
Any thots!? its urgent people! the options are not gonna last forever for me...
