My av master card was bought in 1999 and I am now looking for a new system that would work flawlessly with the card.
1. Currently Pentium III 866 is just at the right price in Thailand (where I am). It costs about the same as Athlon 1 G. Which would be a better CPU for the Job?
2. Mother board. With Intel chipset, Asus is widely available. But if I were to use the AMD CPU would Asus be a good choice?
3. Video card. Matrox is quite pricy in Thailand. I am not much of a technocrat in this field. But video cards that are widely availabd seems to come with a Geforce 2 chip. But the choices are 16 mb and 32 mb-- which is better? Matrox 16 mb costs about the same as Asus 32 mb. Should I be getting more mb for the buck (I confess: what is this mb thing?)
Please Help. Anyone got PCs in this range (PIII 866, Athlon 1 G or any rough equivelent- a few months from becoming antique but not the top of the line) --- If it works please give me a few tips on what AV master likes, Mother Board, Chipset, Video Cards.
Atleast please help steer me away from nightmare configurations.
DO NOT get win 2000 or millenium...cos AV Master will not work with these operating systems
