This newsgroup is to help those having problems in XP with their hardware.
It is not a place to help you decide a future purchase. For that you are on
your own.

I am currently running an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe (non E version) motherboard
with 1 Gig of DDR400 RAM, Pentium 4 3.2Mhz processor (socket 478) and
nVidia 6800 GT graphics card.
I do play games but use my PC for other needs.
The time has come that I would like to switch to a DUAL-MONITOR option.
For that, I need a double-output DVI card. I know I can get a 6800 Ultra
AGP card, but its going to cost me over $500. Sure, I can get a 6600 card
that supports it but I dont want to loose graphic performance to below
what I have now. In addition, I feel that the time has come to make an
upgrade to my motherboard. So I have decided to use this opportunity to
upgrade my motherboard/system at the same time.
For that, I would like some help/advice from some of you on the following.
1) I do not plan to get a SLI system.
2) I want to continue using Intel chips (not AMD). Should I go for a
945/955 chipset or even the 975 motherboard? I want to make sure that
whatever I get is going to be working nicely with Windows Vista in the
future. Which model of the Intel CPU chip should I be going with?
3) What sort of system memory should I be going for? I would like to
have 2 Gigs of RAM total.
I care most about system stability and not the overclocking functions.
If you are suggestion a motherboard, please give me the full model number.
