Hi, i have a Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard and i just want to ask a few questions

1 What is the best GFX card & CPU i could put onto this motherboard?

2 Are there any CPUs/GFX that my motherboard could not handle(i.e too modern)?

3 If my motherboard can still handle anything when could i expect hardware to not be compatible with it anymore?

4 Can it run Geforce cards?

I ask these questions as i want to buy the best cpu and GFX card for this mobo before i go and buy an all out new PC again. and dont know if this mobo can still handle gfx and cpus well into the next few years, in which case i'll wait, or would now be the best time to invest since it is already obsolete and may as well get the best for this mobo before i change pcs all together.

Thanks in advanced for any help given, my current spec is below

AMD3800+
x800pro
2GB ram
 
Hi, money is no obligation really. when i buy a new pc i'll most likely be spending over 1k so i want to make sure i get the most out of this 1 before i do that.

So the very best gfx card i can put in is the x1950pro, cant get any better then that? what about nvida, i heard they tend to perform well with recent games (particularly HL2 mods) even after flashing the bios to its most recent drivers.

what is the current best x2 socket 939 avil? i'll check to see if i can get it first, i only saw one in overclockers web-site which was an amd3800+ dual. which is strange coz i have the amd 3800+ single! if i cant get duel what would be my best alternative option?
if logic servers me correctly... the dual will quite literally be "twice as fast"?

another strange thing.. WOW at how fast the market has moved. i just played BIOSHOCK (had to delete Pixel shader 3.0) but i could play it easily at full spec, yet my PC components arnt even being sold anymore!!!!
thanks for any help given
