Hi all

I am running Abit Kr7a with AMD 1700 CPU and 1 GB Memory. I use
photoshop and Adobe premier occasionally. Now I want to upgrade to
something better, but using my Hard Drives, TV Card, Lan Card and Matrox
Grafic Card from my old mobo. I like to stick to ATA though as I can
not afford two hard drives right now.

I do not want top of the range Mobo and CPU, which I can not afford.
Something cheaper but very stable combination.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I think you're limiting your options. Look for some combos, I saw a AMD
BE-2300 (X2 64 4400 performance) with Nvidia onboard graphics and onboard
sound for $88, add memory and you can use the rest of the hardware. The
onboard video is Nvideo 6000, hardware 3.0 pixel shader (Directx 9.0c)
support.

Thanks all for your suggestions. The idea of using Matrox card etc.
was to minimize the expenses. But as some good folks suggested, it is
better to find a m/board with onboard Video. But I do not know which
is a better proposition, on board Video or separate Video Card. But I
still wants to retain my ATA Hard Disks because of the huge DATA I
have on them.
