"Is this graphics card good?"

I am thinking of getting a "GeForce4 MX420" PCI graphics card.

Is it any good?

What the processor fan? Well I havent had any experience with P3's but with AMD's there are some clips that attach the fan to the processor.

I have a pentium 3 with one agp port and I want to upgrade how do you attach the fan thingies

Its quite easy to fit a motherboard into a case. Take out all the PCI cards e.t.c. from the motherboard. In some of the corners there should be some screws. Unscrew them all. Then just screw the new one in and plug all the fan cables e.t.c. back in place. Not too hard to do, but abit scary as one slip up could wreck the motherboard.

I was wondering that. =/

Does it involve a hacksaw and a nailgun?

As I see great people on here who I can trust how in gods name do you fit a new motherboard in a pc I have wanted to do that for a long time but been to scared to bother

ok =)

Athlon XP 1700+ 1.47Ghz SoA - Processor
and
SoA VIA KT133A ATX A - Motherboard (Allows 600MHz-1800+MHz)

Its just over £150 for the two things.

By the way, would you care to donate a large sum of money to me? =P

They should work together. With Motherboards have a look at the Mhz figure for the processors supported. Most Motherboards have a large supporting range e.g. 1200 - 1800. Just check whether that board supports 1.47Ghz. Dont know if the Motherboard is any good, but the proccessor is good enough.

Processor - Athlon XP 1700+ 1.47Ghz SoA

Motherboard - SoA AMD 761 ATX A R

Will they work together and are they good?

I see.....

Athlon XP 1700+ 1.47Ghz SoA = £85

What type of motherboard do I need (figure wise)?
