Hey, I have a Gigabyte K8NS Pro with an A64 2800+ and a geForce 5200 video card. I want to upgrade to PCIe without having to change the CPU. does anyone know a good 754 PCIe motherboard ? heres the one im looking at.

Oh, does anyone know how the "nForce4 4x" compares with the "nforce3 250" ?

Thanks again !

Link doesn't work.

I think it's a better choice to sell off your current CPU and mobo and buy a whole new skt939 setup all together. You'll notice bigger performance increases with a skt939 CPU then just getting a PCI-E video card and still run it on skt754.

skt754 with nForce4 is a tad iffy, I didn't even know that worked.

We here at OCForums has a classified section where buying and selling happens often, you need 100 posts to access that section though. Don't spam it, they'll find out, somehow.
