My computer's upgrade.

[Hugo.B]

I am upgrading my pc which has an AGP GeForce FX 5500 in it, for a new mobo and GeForce 7300GT, and have narrowed things down to two options, but would like to know what you think is the best. The items have to be from the same store to keep packaging costs down, and total price under £100.00

The asus mobo has loads of free software/goodies.
I really like the speed of that inno3D.

Hmmm, the GFX cards are only 128 bit, you may want to stretch to something that has at leas a 256 memory bit rate. I'm not talking about the memory, i.e. DDR3 etc.

If you want a decent graphics card then you might need to save up a little more.
