I just did an upgrade for my Dad today... Basically just kept his ECS K7S5A Pro board and XP Pro, and swapped the following...
Now has a 128MB Radeon 9200SE (had a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 16MB)
Now has 512MB Crucial PC2100 (had 512MB OCZ PC-133)
Now has a 40GB WD ATA-133 HDD with 8MB cache (had a 17GB Maxtor ATA-66)
Now has a XP2200+ (had a XP1600+)
Now has a 52x32x52 LiteON burner (had a 2x2x6 BTC burner)
Now has a 16X LiteOn DVD ROM (had a 32x CDROM)
Nice upgrade, pretty sweet machine now... But, I realize he may now have a better video card than me, which isn't too hard considering I have a 64MB GeForce4 MX440 and a 64MB GeForce2 Ti... Damn!! I need an upgrade in that department...  |

$286??? That's the price of a 9800 Pro, not a 9600 XT. 9600 XT's are all below $200. |

New Egg has it for $186.00 (or there abouts) and the Asus version has a lot of extras most other don't.

I was using a Radeon 7000AGP for a little while until I bumped up to a Ti4400 (RIP) and I couldn't believe the difference. No offense, but the 7000 sucks :p

oh i agree a 9600pro would make me feel like a god but this my off season, back to moving drilling rigs (don't make as mutch, and the fact that I squished off my thumb on nov,10,03)
