CPU and Graphics Card Upgrade

[AndrewMacInnes]

I have an Abit KR7A - RAID motherboard. I have a 1800+ XP CPU and want to
upgrade the processor. Can anyone tell me the fastest CPU i can buy?

Also I Have an ABit Siluro GF3 Ti200 and want to upgrade this aswell. What
is the best Graphics card i can get remembering the motherboard supports
AGPx4,


Thanks
Andy

According to the abit BIOS updates, you're limited to an XP2000 t'bred or
XP2100 palomino- you'd hardly notice the difference.

when it comes to best Gfx card, how much moolah have you got to spend? I'd
advise nothing less than a radeon 9500 or geforce fx5600 to see an
appreciable difference. The difference in price between a 9700 pro and 9600
pro would buy you a decent mobo with nforce2 or kt400 (ie any XP cpu you
like) and maybe even an xp2400 to go with it.
