ok i have picked out an athlon-compatible motherboard, athlon 64 fx processor, and i need to know if the following items are compatible with the motherboard. i put the processor in there because im not sure about that either.\n\nBIOSTAR V7302GS26 Geforce 7300GS 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail\n\nCreative Sound Blaster SB0570 Audigy SE 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card - Retail\n\nKingston ValueRAM 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model KVR400AK2/1GR - Retail\n\nAMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 1GHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor Model ADA3800BVBOX - Retail

It all depends on the motherboard. Do you know what model number the motherboard is? How about contacting me? A lot easier to explain.\n\nNot true, Man. Some components like the processor and video card he mentions, will have to start with motherboard.

Not worth the trouble.  I would rather just buy a new motherboard than hunt down an AGP slot and solder it onto the board which may or may not work.  The AGP slot is sold with the motherboard and isn't mean't to be taken off so I'm not sure how they could have sold it to you like that in the first place.  Apparently you must have integrated onboard video as well since you can get into the BIOS.  If so, you might as well play it safe and stick with what works.  If you do plan to put an AGP slot on the board, be careful with it.  A bad solder job can short your system and all attached components.  If you're willing to take the risk it's a good learning experience, but if you just want to get your PC back up then I would just get a new board entirely.

need to know more like intel or amd and what type of ram and hd do you already have and want to still use\nfor amd you can never go wrong with a nice asus\nthe more expensive the better\n\noh. well what is the model of your cpu and what connectors do your hard drives have.  most cases are atx unless you have a really small case like a micro atx.\n\nif you keep that processor then you are very limited on what mobo to get\n\nthat asus board had several different pci-x slots

first thing ,you must know what slot at your motherboard.If AGP,there's have 2 slot (4x or 8x). If you want to still using your AGP try ATi chipset.Now they produce the latest on AGP and they call x1k series (like x1300pro,x1600pro,x1650pro and other).There's  needed you with 8x AGP slot. If you want to take PCIe card and the slot(16x),you must change your motherboard first.PCIe card will give you the better performance.Good luck.

You will not want that motherboard, it uses the old AGP, you want something that uses the new PCI Express.  Grab this motherboard:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813182081  two of these processors:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103553\nand this video card:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814133190\nThese are the main parts you will need, I can give you the rest if you are interested, just give me an email, its in my profile.  Also, 8GB of RAM is extrem overkill right now, you cannot really effectively use more than 2GB with the current state of technology, hence why blow your money on more.

Can I just ask why do you need more than 256MB or even 128MB memory in your graphics card? Trust me, if you're looking for better performance in video games or graphical programs this is not the solution as 128MB - 256MB is perfectly well for high details video games.\n\nAnyway, I do not think it can be done. If that's what your motherboard accepts that that's it.

I honestly doubt your graphics card is anywhere near what you need.  As for the processor...maybe, but good luck.  If you post what type of motherboard you have specifically I (or many others) can help with the graphics card.

Definitely the Athlon 64x2.  It's the best processor on the market and completely thrashes Intel in any benchmark test.  Any amount of memory over 2GB is purely academic but you could always upgrade your motherboard and processor at a later time if you really wanted to get more memory.  If you are looking for proof (though I am sure you have done your homework), http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html but most of the ones at the top are single core Athlon 64 chips and the Pentium 4 is nowhere to be seen.  That being said there weren't many multithreaded applications for the dual core chips to take advantage of.  Once games and applications are enabled to take advantage of two core chips the x2's will be riding high at the very top.  Intel, you suck!

Well, they weren't making motherboards 40-60 years ago, but what you need to do is find out which processor they want (or you think they should have), then you'll know which socket you are dealing with.  However, I wouldn't recommend you try to build your own computer, if you didn't even realize that there are over 10 different sockets on the market right now.

Haha, this is like a quiz.\n\n486 is a processor, very old.\n810, 810e, 845, 850, 865 and 915 are motherboard northbridge chipsets for Pentium III (the 810s) and Pentium IV processor (the rest).\n\nYou find a motherboard depends on what processor you want to have. If you would like an Intel processor, you should choose corresponding motherboard. If you are not familiar with them, don't find them yourself, consult a technician.

Nope.  This is like putting a square peg in a round hole. \n\nLook for a PCI video card.\n\nIf you get a new motherboard that has a AGP slot, make sure that you know what you are looking at.   The old AGP boards and old AGP slots are different than the new 4X and 8X AGP slots.   Again, it's like Apples and Oranges.

AMD doesn't make motherboards, intel does. AMD only makes processors, so does intel. \n\nP4 is a processor, in whitch you can change it into another motherboard if it fits. You can't put an AMD processor into an intel motherboard cuz it doesn't fit.  \n\nOk..Motherboards cannot support both AMD and Intel. AMD chips have different sockets than Intel sockets. Here's a webiste that will tell you witch kind of processors fits in a motherboard: http://www.mwave.com/mwave/DEPTBUNDLE2.hmx? clikc on a brand of motherboard, then the first pull down menue on the right are the processors that can fit in the motherboard. Intel motherboards only work with intel processors. Intel processors can work with different motherboards. \n\nNow..If you take your hard drive out, it won't delete windows, scince windows is stored in the hard drive not the  motherboard or processor.

Hey, if ur Athlon model is 3700+, i.e u hv AMD Athlon 64 3700+, then the speed is perfectly alright as the clock speed of athlonn 3700 is 2.2 ghz....the model of an athlon DOESN'T denote its speed....\n\nathlon 3000 is 1.8 ghz\nathlon 3200 is 2.0 ghz\n\nbut still they r better than higher-clock-speed intels....\n\n\n\nand if u still want faster speeds, overclock ur processor as AMD are fairly easy to overclock, but ensure u hv a good cooling system and a power supply

You first have to look at the model of the motherboard to see what type of processor and the maximum clock speed it will handle. Then you can go from there.\n\nIf the cpu can't be upgraded, another option is to get a mobo/cpu package that accepts the same memory, expansion slots, power requirements and form factor as the one you currently have.
