Need Help on New computer?
« on: April 26, 2005, 09:19:11 AM »
Hi All!
I have a chance to buy a computer that has the following specs!
Athlon 64 3300+ 2.4 GHz:Socket 754
SiS 760/964 (chip set)
Integrated SiSŪ Mirage2 Graphics
Asus (motherboard) K8S-LA

The only thing I was wondering was about the Sis Chipset graphics. I know Aces High most likely wont work with that
graphics but I intent to add a ATI AGP graphics card.

Can I disable the on board graphics??

Thanks Again!!

Definitely need an AGP slot thats the main thing. Bear in mind also that Sis tend to be budget/business chipsets, although they tend to be very reliable.

Watch the BIOS is not proprietary ie no tweaking/overclocking options.

Socket 754 has no upgrade path, but who says 939 will have :p


If it comes in worth the money go for it (If it has n AGP slot)
