PC4000VX or PC3200VX + new mobo?

is pc4000vx worth the extra 80.00 over the cost of the PC3200vx? or should i just take the extra 80.00 and spend another 50.00 and get a new mobo as well?

I would say definitely get a DFI NF4 Ultra-D, you won't regret it, as for the memory, the 3200VX should do just fine.

I would definitely sell it now, once R520 and G70 come it's going to be worth next to nothing.

Just get the 3200VX. I heard there is problem with 400VX. One of the members here (Maxx???) has problem with it, although his mobo is DFI, still it could be a bad memory sign.

You could get a PCI-E X800 XL for $295 which performs quite well:

But if you're really intent on sticking with AGP then the best performing mobo is definitely the MSI K8N Neo2

There's no difference between the 3200VX and the 4000VX, the 4000VX is just binned higher. Any problems people are having with one they would have with the other, and many people are having cold boot issues with the DFI NF4 boards and VX memory.
