Garbageben Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'd say get another 512MB RAM for a total of 1 GB. Also I'd suggest a graphics upgrade. Get a 6600GT, but wait a few weeks because prices are supposed to drop with the release of the 7800GT. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that's certainly why you have problems with Fear and SPlinterCell) Then, the graphic card will come and finally the processor in this order.

Mooff Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 tricky question as said before first i would upgrade the RAM. prices are low at them moment so another 512MB should work fine. as for a graphic card upgrade or cpu upgrade, i think you need a new mainboard to --> PCIe instead of AGP. updating to another AGP gpu makes no sense. i'm planing to upgrade my system if i actually do need it. I mean the times a new games comes out which i choose to play i'll upgrade. So i have a fast PC i actually do need it. (which basically means upgrade in feb 06 for EAW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 As for the video card part anybody know of a Geforce card under $200 Canadian that can allow tv on the PC ? For the RAM part thanks. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Get the New Radeon Card: R520!! 700 MHZ Dual Port!!! http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerogravity Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 the 3 biggest things i look for in a pc is. A) the graphics card is atleast a Radeon 9600/Geforce 6200 B) atleast 1024 RAM, i used to use 512...after i got 1024, i noticed a big change in speed.C) Hardrive RPM's should be atleast 7200, i prefer a Western Digital Raptor 10000 though. lol fosh, the new GeForce 7800 is the best card out, it's 16x's better then the GeForce 6800, which WAS the best card before the 7800... i aint lying either, it actually is 16x's better ^^it's far ahead of the gaming industry http://home.earthlink.net/~bldumka/AFACC.gifhttp://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/evoelementz.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriarty101 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I also want to upgrade my xf card. I have a sony vaio which really isn't meant for gaming. It has a SiS 651 intergarated graphics with 32 Mb Video ram. I was told that I couldn't put a card in because it conflicts with the chip set. Any truth to that? Do you have any recomendations? It can go up to 64 mb ram. Can I put 128 mb in? For system memory I am expanding to 1.5gb. What is the difference between DDR and SDRAM. I currently have 515mb ddr-sdram. Any feed back would be apreiciated. Iam not good with hardware so I really don't have a clue. All It Takes For Evil To Flourish Is For Good Men To Do Nothing.

Ghostly_Substance Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 NOOOOO DAMN NOOOOOOO BLAH NOOOOOO, I dont want my pc to be broken. Its one out of 7 things that aint broken thats electronic. My ps2, pc, dvd player, Gameboy Color/Advance, Speakers with subwoofer, joystick all work. My laptop got busted and now my USB ports on my computer got ruined by someone tripping over it Ok this seriously sucks since I have to use the back USB ports........... Gah computer crap is expensive and I can barely buy games damn it. Damn can USB's from Compaq computers even be replaces ? Compaq Precario S4300NX. Tripping over cables is the number one reason why my computer USB port got busted and why my laptop screen/eithernet/2 Linksys cards got busted......... -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foshjedi2004 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I am going to upgrade my whole system with a GeForce 7800x, my current one is a 4800 so is kinda outdated, I am also planning on getting the Enermax 600w Noisetaker to make sure that I can supply enough power. I plan to buy the Soundblaster X-Fi Fatality FPS and as such will be connecting my surround sound to it. Overall this upgrades gonna cost about £1597. I may upgrade my Hard Drive by 200Gb as i have a free port for it. £70 for it isn't bad. My computer needs a major overhaul. That is why i am planning on getting a new motherboard as well. Athlon FX-57 processor and the A8N-SLI board itself. My wallet's gonna be empty for quite a while http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
