Some of the guys who didn't were sayin "time for a new pc". just wonderin what spec would be good. I'm about to upgrade and wondered if you could point me in the right direction. This is what I am considering :- intel duo 3.4 agp mobo ( so I can keep my nvidia 6800 ) 2gb 533mhz ram 250 sata X2 ( raid ) This is what I currently have :- amd athlon 2600 nvidia 6800 .75gb 333 mhz ram ide drive Should I save up abit more ? cheers dave dholdi View Public Profile Send a private message to dholdi Find all posts by dholdi Add dholdi to Your Buddy List #2 09-02-07, 10:17 AM FibreOptic Skyuser Serial Spammer Exchange:Redditch Sky Broadband package:Max Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Redditch, WestMidlands, England, UK Posts: 3,144 Re: What spec PC's ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You should be looking for anything from; 2.6ghz or more 1gb ram or more 256mb DEDICATED gfx card memory! And that should be fine?

I'm sure I read somewhere that a good agp card can still hold its own against a pcie card if its got some oomph behind it.

d3fiant Skyuser Member Exchange:Bradwell Abbey Sky Broadband package:Max Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Milton Keynes Posts: 48 Re: What spec PC's ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- depends on the games u play but I would also strongly suggest u save and move over to PCIe, AGP has served its purpose but its time to move on. I moved from a 6800AGP system, now running the system as per my sig below. I am a heavy gamer, most evenings after a slow day at work, my poison is BF2, CoH and occasionaly HL2. 2GB memory is advised if you play BF2/2142, as is a card with AT LEAST 256MB of dedicated memory __________________ SKY BB MAX supporting 2PCs, 2Modded XBoxs, 1PS2 and 1Wii -=Main PC=- C2D 6600 - AB9 Pro - 512MB 7950GT - 2GB RAM DDR667 - 1TB Storage d3fiant View Public Profile Send a private message to d3fiant Find all posts by d3fiant Add d3fiant to Your Buddy List #12 09-05-07, 11:21 PM spoony Skyuser Member Exchange: Sky Broadband package: Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 25 Re: What spec PC's ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- currently intel pentium D 3.4ghz 1gb ram Asus Mobo 200gb an a 120 gb hdd geforce XFX 8800 GTS windows xp pro, have vista but did'nt like it so went back to xp X-fi sound blaster fatal1ty looking to upgrade mobo-ram-cpu nxt wage hopefully E6600 or around 2gb mem an msi mobo __________________

AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+
2GB Corsair Ram X800 Graphics card Creative Audigy sound card 500W PSU Changing the PSU to a Coolermaster IGreen 600W PSU, when they are back in stock at Ebuyer. Ready for my DX10 graphics card, not sure which to get, but thinking of waiting for the next generation Nvidia cards. |
