:( sorry for some reason my post got lost, so here goes again!! :D


Hi all, new to this forum, so please excuse any mistakes... Anyway i'm in need of some advice. I used to have a good pc system with the following:
Mobo= ABIT 3rd Eye
RAM= CORSAIR DDR SDRAM,Capacity 2 x 512 Mb,Clock Frequency 400 MHz,1 Gb (2x512Mb) PC3200
CPU= Athlon 64 3200+ 2000 MHz 512 KiB 1000 MHz 10x 1.35/1.40 V 67 W Socket 939
GPU=NVIDIA GeForce 6200 AGP8x 512mb DDR2 TV DVI
PSU= X-POWER 450W
So i had this set up for about 8 months or so when i had a fualt on the Mobo. Sent it to Ebuyer and they just returned my money.
So now i left with all the bits but no Mobo.
My question is what Mobo should i buy now? Should i stay AGP or go PCIe??
I'm dont do much except play BF2 online and a few other games and the rest is just normal pc usage. I'm not into Overclocking so really looking for a Mobo thats good fast and handle what i like, without fussying about with it.
Sorry to drag this out- thought the info the better you can help. Many thanks.

Sorry the post went missing, we updated the forum last night and some new posts went walkies...

It all depends on money to be honest.

Cheap option is just replace the mobo with an AGP one and use all your other components.

Or...

Get a PCI-e one, you will need a new graphics card but your graphics will be better. You should be able to still use your current RAM and processor if you get the right mobo too.

Thanks for the reply - so if i did stick with an AGP what would you recomand for a Mobo thats good from the start and you dont have to mess with OC'ing????? :D :? 8) :!:

Pretty much any agp board that has your memory slot type and processor socket will be fine.

Have a look round www.dabs.com or www.ebuyer.com

Hope this helps

Dave.
