Ok guys, I have a question that sorta deals with upgrading my PC. You see, I was wanting to do away with my NVidia 6800 GT (since it is starting to show some wrinkles) and go with a faster NVidia Card. I was eying the new 7900 cards (perferably the 512 MB versions) but I wanted to stick with the CPU and Memory Sticks I have. My Processor is a Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHZ Socket 478 with an FSB of 800 MHz and my memory type is 184 pin DDR DIMM PC 3200 (DDR400). Now here's the kick in the jewels that I found out today. There's no PCI X16 Sloted Motherboards that support my processor or Memory Chips. So my question is this. Is there any PCI X16 Motherboards that support my Processor Type and Memory Chips?
If you can find them, Albatron PX915P4C Pro or ASUS P4GD1. Personally, I don't think it's a wise investment...ride out the S478 w/6800GT until you're ready to go all the way with S775, DDR2, PCI-e

Why not just go with a Nvidia 7800 agp version?
It wouldn't be worth you buying a brand new board just for pci-e. If that is the case you miles well sell your current pc and put that money towards a brand new pc.
