Give me an IRQ conflict any day. Not just DOS - my mum's laptop has one and it's a modern machine running Windows ME (I didn't install it). |
And how many people still have an AGP 1x 1.0 motherboard that would even be worth putting and AGP 8x 3.0 card in??
FYI the last agp 1x v1.0 mobo was a 4x86 upto DX4 120, and the minimum agp 8x card is a GF4MX, a machine that low-end probably doesnt even have the processing power to run the drivers for that hardware. :p
Edit: and on topic, ive been holding out on any modern upgrades to my PC for quite some time.
Once the prices come down a little and software becomes a little more supportive to the new hardware I plan to buy....
64bit CPU
PCI-Xpress mobo
Sata hdd's
and im also thinking of a gigabit LAN for the wired part of my Wired/wireless network.
