dear .......................

I want to get asrock 915 p4 dual for my 2.0 GHZ processor which sports socket 478.
I HAVE INTEL 845 Motherboard which has NO agp slot.
I want to get a mobo which has PCIe slot and powerful onboard graphics.
Is Radeon 9600 Pro a agp card or a PCIe card.(as i have heard that this is a very good card.
i don't want to get 865 based mobo because it will cost Rs 3500 and "this" asrock 915 will cost Rs 4000.
one of my friend got nvidia 6600(non-gt) at Rs 8000.
asrock 915 works on 800 MHz fsb.
But the fsb of my processor is 400 MHz.
i want to enjoy DX9-ready onboard graphics.
now, if it doesn't work on 400 mhz processor, then why did asrock made this motherboard on socket 478.
why do i replace my good old 2 GHz processor with a 3 GHz processoor.
Also, what is GHz of dual core processor.
What will be cost of a ddr 2 512 mb ram module.
what is cost of dual core processor + intel 945 based motherboard?
If i buy an AMD 64 processor, then AMD motherboards with PCIe slots r very expensive.(but i managed to find one at reasonable price).
asrock 915 p4 dual costs only Rs 4000.
can i buy it for my 2.0 GHz processor?
because i may lose that Rs 4000 if it won't work on my processor!
please reply me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
 
Firstly, welcome to TechEnclave :)

- The Asrock P4 dual 915 board you are talking about only supports processors with a 800/533Mhz FSB. So your P4 would not work in the board.

Is Radeon 9600 Pro a agp card or a PCIe card.

- A Radeon 9600 Pro is an AGP card.

i want to enjoy DX9-ready onboard graphics.

- "DX9 Ready onboard graphics" are still not going to be able to handle DX-9 level games. Its purely for compatibility sake.

now, if it doesn't work on 400 mhz processor, then why did asrock made this motherboard on socket 478.

- Not all Socket 478 processors work with a 400Mhz FSB, there are 533/800Mhz FSB models as well. Hence it is suitable for those models.

Also, what is GHz of dual core processor
Click to expand...
- Pentium Dual-core processors come in different models having either 2.8Ghz/3.0Ghz/3.2 Ghz clock speed on each core (i.e : 2 cores each running at 2.8ghz/3ghz/3.2ghz).

What will be cost of a ddr 2 512 mb ram module.

what is cost of dual core processor + intel 945 based motherboard?
Click to expand...
- DDR2 modules = no idea.

- Dual core processors + 945 based motherboard = i dont think they're available here as yet.

i don't want to get 865 based mobo because it will cost Rs 3500

asrock 915 p4 dual costs only Rs 4000.

can i buy it for my 2.0 GHz processor?

No, do not buy the Asrock 915dual board, it wont work.

An 865 board is your only option. Else, you could get an 845 board with an AGP4x slot. Might be about 2.5K or lower. Any standalone graphics card, even an FX5200 would have DX9 support and would be much better than onboard graphics.
