If you want a 1.5 year old motherboard and a AGP Radeon 9700 in your case and want to dwell in AMD and ATI's past then please do. My friends and I will continue to play on our Core2 Duos and Quads with Geforce8's!
As a student, I can not change my mobo, cpu and gpu every year. I don't use AGP, that is something from the "middle ages". In both my desktop (6200) and my laptop (8400) I use a PCI-e card of NVidia's series. So relax a little, I do not intend to be ignoring your arguments. I know that gamers should use an intel chip, but when I bought my desktop, it was the best I could get for a sub-700 price.
Even if I had the money, it is a waste of money to upgrade a pc that is starting to mainly run Ubuntu. An OS that needs only a third of the power I have now .
