Taking a moment from the Fredricks catalog, "Lube Saveski" <saveski@iprimus.com.au> spake thusly >Hi all I'm about to buy a MSI K7N420 PRO (MS-6373) M/B based on the nFORCE >chipset and and get a Duron 950mhz. I strongly advise you to spend a bit more (maybe $40-50), and get an XP 1500+. It will be MUCH faster than that Duron, especially in games. >Currently i have a P3 866mhz with a TNT 2 Ultra and i'm wondering would the >speed of games be similer to the Duron 950mhz. The Duron would be a bit faster, but your limiting factor at present is probably your video card. With the GeForce4 line out, the GeForce 2 and 3 series have dropped a lot. A GeForce2 TI is under $100, and would probably triple your frame rate in most popular games. The built-in video on that MB will at least double your frame rate, and will probably be fine for you for a while. To reply by email, remove the XYZ. Lumber Cartel (tinlc) #2063.
