GFX Cards

[dave87]

Basically I've got money (limited amount) burning a hole in my pocket, and i was considering buying a new GFX card, however, is it really worth it, or should i put it towards a new 64bit PC?

Currently

Athlon 3200+ stock
Thermalright SI-97
NF7-S v2
1.5gb RAM DDR-400
80Gb SATA HDD
DVD-RW
CD-RW
ATI Radeon 9600xt.


Thanks, Dave

Does that board support only agp?

If it does u may want to upgrade the system, maybe use ASRocks dual board so you could keep the agp graphics card for a while and use it to buy a faster cpu and ram. Or just get a board and go for something like atis gto2 card and overclock it like hell.

Depends on budget at the end of the day

its the barton core 3200+ (aka 32bit) so agp only was considering buying a shuttle (or variant) for uni next year, while the lovely rents buy me a lappy jus got the urge to spend some money for some reason.

I wouldn't spend too much on that rig, unless you are particularly hurting with what you have. Save it :>
