Yo hows things......
I was wondering....I'm a bit strapped for cash and I was looking into upgrading one of three things.
At present I have:
Asus V8200 PURE Geforce 3
512 pc-133 ram
Athlon T-Bird 1ghz
Now if you were me and you mostly played new games and loved to have all the detail up and real-time shadows and the like,
would you buy new RAM (mobo = A7A266-E so i guess only takes 266 mem I'll have to check that)?
would you buy a new graphics card?
or would you buy a new Processor?
I have overclocked my geforce 3 to a stable 225/460 rather than the 220 original core speed...and that has helped alot but I notice that a lot of the cheaper newer cards have higher core speeds than this.
I know a 1ghz is getting long in the tooth now so I was thinking an Athlon XP 2200+ ( I can get it nice an cheap y'see)
I dont't know much about RAM speeds and such so any advice on how this affects gaming performance would help me in my quest for gaming smoothness.
I have just bought a new gorgeous monitor so Im covered there.
well thats it .....
cheers in advance for any help offered
