ASrock mobo with 3200 venice or a new AGP card like a 6800GT or x800pro. There are no other exceptions of getting a PCI-E card or new PSU or anything else.

AFAIK the mobo he's talking about is the one with AGP and PCI-E, so he can upgrade the video card later when he gets more money. That way makes sense.tom10167 said:It doesn't make sense either way. If you're going to spend the money on a new board and processor you're so much better off getting one with PCIe and getting a new video card.

Not only will you need those 256megs of texture memory, but you're going to want all the next gen shaders and extra pixel pipelines to see all the special effects. Your Barton is overclocked pretty high, I doubt you'd see any performance increase with a low end A64 chip and an AsRock motherboard surely won't yield better results than your Asus.
