Try one of those! ! ! :)
Damn url doesnt work cause its a search link, just searh up a 6800 (non GT, or Ultra) on newegg.com
That would be a start, although if you went socket 754, If you do not want to run into this again too soon and you really want to upgrade your cpu/mobo now. I would save a little more $$$ and go with a Athlon 64 2800+ or 3000+
MSI's tech support was denying that the MSI message boards had anything posted on the forums about the MS7030 (K8N NEo Platinum) this was while I was on the message boards reading post, after post of the same poblem I was having. The os would NOT load after copying the files to the HDD, this...
Asus, I was making a point thats it :)
Upgrading your ram was a good idea, and saving for a new system down the road. Someone else said this (before the flame bs went on) and the post was deleted. If yocan however pop a "newer" P4 on that same board, that would be a decent performance boost...
Nothing but problems during XP install with the SAME MOBO! ! ! 30+ atempts at installing the os and about 17 hours of headache! ! ! MSI tech support SUCKS MY D*CK! ! ! PM my account on the boards if you need, maybee I can help you. :) :) :) I love these boards, people here are so chill :)
The 7200 rpm 8mb cache SATA drive in my machine is noticeably faster than my old ATA 133 drive. Its a Western Digital and its hella quiet, I always went with Samsung for silent HDD, or Seagate for pure speed. But I would HIGHLY recomend a 80 gig WD SATA drive! ! !
I just built my new machine, and alothough the motherboard was a b*tch to get going with a XP Pro install, this is one KICK ASS machine, it is so f*cking fast! ! !
The 64 3000+ is a great price also! ! ! Just get a Asus board, or if you do go MSI, go with the Via KT800 chipset.
I would avoid that POWERCOLOR card at all costs! I would go with an MSI for less $$$ and they use the R360 core so thay can be OC'd to XT speeds. You might also want to look into a Sapphire, because they are very good also. Everything else seems to be very well balanced. . . Kudos :) Have fun
I do this at my shop when people do not want to pay for a reload of there OS, this was in 98SE however. I would delete my "enum" in the registry and simply reboot after the new mobo and such were in there. This was actually the only way to do this the "right" way if you were upgrading from an...

I'm here from the future to warn you.
Don't buy the X800 XT PE or the 6800 Ultra. In the very near future these video cards are powerful enough to create their own skynet computer system. Computers, robots and machines are taking over the world. Meanwhile, the Earth Defense Forces...
I personally just went with a 6800GT for another $100, check out gameve.com, they just got the XFX cards in stock and they are good overcloackers! ! ! So just another $100 and you could have a 6800GT and OC to and ULTRA! ! ! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA......*cough*...EEEEVILLLLLLL :naughty:
Hey man, FORGET Powercolor, they have a not so good rep. This MSI kicks and is a good overclocker
