New chipsets will often require a PCI-Express video card as well. The Abit AS8-3rd Eye might be a board to looks at. (PC3200 memory, Socket 775, and AGP video) "don ward" <dwa***@earthlink.net> wrote in message if u got the cash go for an abit AA8 Fatal1tynews:dward7-759536.20581030032005@news1.east.earthlink.net... > My grandson wants a gaming computer and I am contemplating an Abit mb > with pentium 2.4 processor 800MHZ fsb with 3200 ram.. > Are the Abit mbs good product ? what model ?? > > many thanks > dnw > > -- > --- > don ward <dwa***@earthlink.net> > ward with some DDR2 PC4300 memory get a p4 3.0Ghz skt775 gamers dream, well with a faster processor but the 3.0 is cheapest 775

Choose the latter for a longer upgrade path. Boards using the Nforce4 chipset have, in general, PCI-Express video. Mainboards built on the VIA K8T800/K8T800 Pro use AGP video. The lesser known K8T890 has PCI-Express video. Most all Athlon64 boards use PC3200 DDR RAM. |
