"Ole Questionable" My unidentifiable P4 1.6 with no FCC # or discernable markings has finally kicked the bucket. (The one with the power switch that said "Are ya' feelin' lucky punk!)"

Sadly the namless motherboard supported PC100 so I was able to stick 1.5 GB in there for next to nothing. Now that it's gone I need to replace with something that has some juice to render the figure intensive scenes that could not be done (if they can be done)

Does anyone have any suggestions to building a machine with 2-3 GB RAM, a hefty FSB and a Processor that would be good for rendering HI-Res poser 4 and 5 images that are generally between 120 - 200 MB files? Do I need a PCI-Xpress Video or does anyone see no difference with AGP?

I would like to try and keep it under $1000 US if possible (I need Case, Power, CPU, RAM, Motherboard) I have ATAPI drives already and my poser install was on it's own drive so I pray my Runtime still exists somewhere.

Thanks!
