xRo0t Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 hi there, anybody knows a good P4 mobo that supports (in default) 1066FSB that has an AGP 8x Slot? my processor is Intel P4EE (w/HT) 3.74ghz with 1066FSB 2mbL2 cache I have a good graphics card (Geforce FX 5950 Ultra) and not really willing to replace it with a PCIe yet.. any ideas? thanks in advance, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 what GOOD graphics gard do you have? you only mentioed a 5950... 508223[/snapback] My old 9800pro raped my friend's 5950 Ultra, even when he had his p4 up to 3.6 ghz with 2 gigs of GeIL Golden Dragon...I was running a Barton Mobile at 2.4 ghz with 512 mb of regular pc3500. Every single test...9800pro == faster by a good 20%. Even with a slower cpu and a LOT less memory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRo0t Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 well its good enough for me so far and i think it still got some juice for another year or so.. anyways, any idea about mobo's with AGP 8x? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 id say with THAt card, you shouldnt stay with AGP just to keep it. I would suggest going PCI-E. maybe if you had a 6800 or x800 series AGP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't, the next time you upgrade you have to buy another mobo as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 problem is all the socket 775 boards with AGP have chipsets that won't supprot that FSB... so gues what time it is? get a good PCI-E board. btw why would you want to keep a card like that with a cpu like taht? and i'm sure you've got $$$ if you spend that much on a cpu.

martymcfly Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 just in ase you dont know, a 5950 is not a good graphics card. So if you are getting the new proc because you want more gaming performance, then it will not help unless you get a good card (6800, 7800, x850, or x800 series). Your card is a bottleneck. It will get the same bench scores with a p4ee basically as with a p4 2.53 (533 FSB). Your aim should be a card that will coexist with the processor or even that the processor bottlenecks the card. Then you have OCing headroom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
