    well the first one is for AGp and the second one is fo PCI-E, which does your mobo have? most only have one or the other, except for the Asrock 939Dual Sata2 which has both. So is it AGP or PCI-E?

    i would go with the PCI E card cuase they are faster... but 90$ seems cheap for one though...

    I don't mean to sound mean, but 900mhz? What are you playing at?

    I'm running 6GHz at the moment. :|

    If you're running a 900mhz box, I'm presuming your mobo is going to be old, and I mean old. So you're probably going to have to get an AGP card, which are harder to find.

    Erm, you would be better off buying a new setup.

    Also, if you're gonna get a new processor, get an AMD X2 Dualcore 3200+

    You can install one RAM chip at a time, so you can get yourself a 1GB and then another 1GB.

    But for gods sake make sure you know what RAM your system supports, because like I said if you're running on a 900mhz, your mobo will be old and you might end up having to buy nasty DDR233 or PC133 RAM.

    If so, you're better getting a new computer.

    "thats what they make xbox360 for"

    Haha, I just laughed irl :P

    XBOX360 is like ---- on the sidewalk compared to my rig, and I much prefer a multi-tasking machine than something which overheats, damages disks and is only good for the 'bling' factor.

    :P

    Anyway, don't go with that crappy Sempron.

    Go for an X2 Dual Core. 3200+ or 3400+
