I'm looking at upgrading my system (mainly with an eye towards 3D games)
and I'd like to know what would be the best move for my limited budget.

I have Win98 with AMD 400, 256 SDRam, Matrox 450. The upgrade would be Asus
A7V 133 mboard, Duron 1000 and a graphics card based on the GeForce 3 GTS
chip, however I can't buy all three components at once.

The question is, would I get a better performance boost (remember, 3D
games) from the mboard/CPU combination or the graphics card?

Thanks
Mard
