I need to upgrade some parts of my computer but I do not know what to upgrade first.
AMD T-Bird 1.2 GHZ OCed to 1.44 GHZ
Epox EP-8KHA
512 Mb PC-2100 ram
Leadtek Geforce 2 GTS 32mb DDR
SoundBlaster Live! Value
Lite-On 48x CDRW
Maxtor 7200rpm 40GB
I have $400 to spend, what should I upgrade first? Thx.
We need some idea of what you do with the system or wish to do. Merry Christmas.
I would like to do some gaming, and just an overall speed upgrade.
For gaming the best thing to do would be get a new graphics card. GF2 32MB just isn't enough for modern games... I upgraded over the summer when from GF2 64MB to my Ti4200 128MB and the framerates have gone up dramatically (sorry I don't have the actual numbers, but that mod alone made a huge difference).
The only other thing I could really think of would be get a faster processor but that probably won't make anywhere near as big of a difference as the graphics card.
I say upgrade your vid card to a GeForce 4 TiXXXX and maybe drop in an 1600XP processor in there. That should even leave you some extra money to spend on extra fans, some case mods, etc.
9500pro, is the only way to go. better than the Ti series, in most cases. get it.
