It has this stuff

- 3 x 184pin DDR-SDRAM ports (Supporting up to PC3200)
- 5 x PCI slots
- 1 x AGP Pro (4x/8x) slot
- Dual Channel DDR400 support
- 2 x UDMA133 (supports upto 4 device)
- Serial ATA150 Controller
- 6 x USB 2.0 ports
- Firewire IEEE 1394 ports
- Onboard dual 3com & Nvidia LAN
- Nvidia SoundStorm / Dolby Digital Audio
- Nivida Nforce 2 Chipset

Is it good?

Tch, im not made of money.

Just get yourself a whole new pc and be done with it.

Oh buggers, there's an expense i hadnt budgeted for.

Yep only DDR, just looked in the manual.

It says that the Abit NS7-S will support my 1 gig athlon chip, but will it also support thae RAM that i have as well? I think its SDRAM, am i right in thinking the board only takes DDR?

No, no, you misunderstand.

The 9600 is for a new pc that i intend to build.

Hell no, don't replace a TI4600, not unless wasting money is a hobby

I dont know whether you should bother replacing it with a 9600 Pro. Ok the 9600 Pro does Direct X 9 and has 8x AGP, but the Ti4600 is still powerfull. If your upgrading your graphics you should get a top of the range card or wait and get the next top of the range cards, which will probably be out by Christmas :)

Its a Creative Labs Geforce 4 Ti4600, we got it when it first came out, won't be making that mistake again. They depreciate so damn fast it makes you cry.

Um, yeah, me too, but only for stuff that I can live without for the four weeks it takes to sort out any problems. I bought an mp3 player from them a few weeks ago that was £15 cheaper than anywhere else. Aria, on the other hand, are dead to me. I had to send them a pretend lawyer's letter before they finally got their finger out and replaced my faulty motherboard.

"We're doing tests." Repeat for 6 weeks. I hate them.
