    graphics card

    If you can get a peek in his device manager to see what it says it has for display and also see if it has anything under system devices.ie:does it show a cpu to agp controller? Maybe it will be easier to make a recommendation upon knowing what he is running right now.Paparazi's right,the main...

    ECS mobo

    Which side of the tracks are you going,AMD or Intel.I have used both the P6S5AT with Celerons and the K7S6A running AtlonXP 1700+.The only issue was with the P6S5AT cpu fan not running.This requires a bios flash or an adaptor cable to run power to the fan from the power supply.I found both...

    graphics card

    Hi Kelly, I think you will find that if he is running a Pentium III,he is also using an AGP slot for his video card.If this is the case that is what you will be shopping for,not PCI. These days most AGP (accelerated graphics port) video are described in terms of memory amount,memory...

    geforce3 ti200 for gaming....

    I think I have read somewhere that some motherboards can't supply enough power through the agp to power G-force 3 and up. I think I saw it on the INNO3D faq site.May or may not be relevant.

    New processor and motherboard = hardly any performance increase

    I'd check to see what spec hard drive your motherboard will support (my guess ata100).7200RPM is necessary for lively performance.Your current hard drive would be my guess for your being the bottleneck.DDR2100 (PC266) did provide better performance than PC133 when used on my ECS K7S5A...
