A7 = Athlon 7
n = nForce 2
8X = 8X AGP controller
I want to build a retro gaming PC based off that board and a Radeon 9700 Pro.

Actually I had that same setup but with a 9600.

hello HTPC.
low power streaming with actual functionality. so much better than the tv apps which (depending on versions and tvs) are slower than hell and cannot multi-task.
and you can buy a freesync monitor (or Samsung tv).
AMD has strengthened their grip on the entry level to the modest (in pocketbook) enthusiast.
