Sell your graphics card too, since its AGP. The above 2 mobos are PCI-E, so ur FX5200 wont work on them. Otherwise you have to get a mobo that supports AGP.

Yeah and go with ASUS, better graphics and SATA2. Get a socket 939. Socket 754 is good only if you are buying a sempron/limited budget.

Stuff is supposed to be cheaper in Kochi. Ask Rahul. He was telling abt the prices in Kochi.

Anyway if it is likr 3-4K, try getting a 6600 from the TE market. RIO had 2 for sale. Dunno if both are sold or not.

Otherwise, go for a brand new 6200.

^^If he's getting the A8N-VM, no use getting a 6200 as the onboard performance will be nearly the same. He better save up and get a nice video card later on.

Asus + Venice combo is about 12k(6k each i think), and as chaos said you dont need to buy a graphics card right now, go for it in future if req.

Asus A8N-VM CSM has a good enuf IGP, dont forget to go for atleast 1 GB ram(about 4-4.5k depending on make) go for twinmos > transcend > hynix.

Yeah we can all help you out!! And regarding the graphics card - i should have been clearer. The asus comes with a builtin card thats better than the FX5200 that u have. So there is no point keeping it, this apart from the PCI-E issue.

Also i think you are better off with Transcend ram for a 1GB stick - i can get them with Samsung UCCC chips for 4.4k for a 1GB stick here. TwinMos costs 1.8k for 512MB stick and uses MTec chips.

If you are getting the 512MB then get the twinmos.

If you are getting a 1GB stick then get the transcend.

Well sell the 5200 obv ;)

The Asus MB has a geforce 6150 chipset which is pretty good. Even the MSI RS-482 has good graphics which is slightly lower than the 6150. 1GB of ram will improve performance, since u have 512 just add another 512 stick. Yup the old IDE hdd will work on either motherboard.

And if you feel 512Mb is enough then dont bother buying a new stick.

Sell the FX5200 - expect around 1.2k for it.

The old hard disk will work on the new motherboards. No problems.

Get the AMD 64 Venice 3000+ and Asus A8N-VM CSM/equivalent cheaper one from Foxconn.
