Hey all
Im looking to upgrade my current system, funds should be in my bank soon.
At the moment I have: -
Athlon 64 Dual Core 4400+
2GB DDR RAM
Abit A7N8 motherboard (or summet like that name)
512MB 7950GT KO Superclocked GCard
The system is good but I know am not getting the full potential out of the system because I am using the DDR RAM.
Im looking to upgrade my motherboard, CPU and RAM for the moment.
I am thinking of the following:-
Motherboard: Abit Fatal1ty AN9 32X NF590 SLI, S AM2, PCI-E (x16), DDR2 533/667/800, SATA II, SATA RAID, ATX
CPU: AMD AM2 Athlon 64 6400 + Black Edition Dual Core 3.2GHz, 2x 1MB Cache, Retail w/o Heat Sink Fan
(Not sure on the cooler yet)
RAM: 2GB (2x1GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2 Pro, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800), 240 Pins, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 4-4-4-12
2Gb RAM to start with then maybe go up to 3 or 4 even though am on XP 32bit, I have heard rumours that there are ways of getting XP 32bit to recognize 4Gb RAM.
I was wondering what people thought of the above upgrade, I want to get the most I possible can out of my setup, PC is mainly used for gaming but the occasional film is watched and for University I have a laptop.
Eventually I will be looking to upgrade my graphics card but for the moment am relatively happy with the Graphics Card I have, im thinking of maybe waiting for the 9Series Nvidia cards to come out and hoping the 8800s will drop in price.
If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to suggest.
Thanks
