Re: Is the MSI MS-6545 a board still worth bothering with?

There is an ebay auction for a case I want, and it comes with a MSI MS-
6545, a 2ghz P4 and 512meg of Rambus memory. I think I might stand a
fair chance of getting it.

Anyone know from experience what the fastest P4 CPU that will go in that
board is, websites just say "upto 2ghz and above".

Currently I have a Duron 1.3 with a Geforce MX2 so that processor would
be a major leap as it is.

With Rambus being so expensive, and AGP graphics cards being out of date
and limited now, do you reckon it would be worth maxing out the P4 and
memory with the best AGP card I can find (still a big upgrade and the
board is already there with the auction), or strip it out bay it for
what I can get and get a more modern AMD/Intel Dual core setup with DDR
ram and PCI-e slot?

What do you intend to use it for?
