hello everyone,about 3 years ago i bought a new computer which has a gigabyte GA7IXE4 motherboard. 750 Amd Duron processor, 256 SDRam i recently bought a NVIDIA Geforce4 MX440 with AGP8.
My problem is this, i am addicted to playing games and i recently got some new ones but am unable to play them properly due to my spec. i dont have enough money or knowledge to upgrade myself without help so i was hoping i could pick your brains for advice.
I dont want to buy a new case as i dont have room for another comp, my case i called e-star and it is an ATX (not sure what this is but someone told me). I want to buy only a new board, processor Amd Athlon atleast 2gig, and the system should be able to take DDRRam. i have two boards that i have looked at they are
AsRock K7S41 or K7S8X And
MSI KT4AV
what i really need to know is whch one is better and will they be able to fit into my old case (thats important) and also will they accept my harddrive/floppy/cdrom and other periferals?
im a bit confused coz when i go into a shop they go on about so many things that i feel like they are trying to sell me something i dont need. I just want a board/processor/ which will fit in my case,take ddr ram and i will be able to play games happilly
))
can someone please advise me
Thank you
