Hi im looking for advice on upgrading havent done it in a while and only want to spend about £60 as thats my budget. Im just looking for a general increase in speed i play the occasional game (starcraft 2,Baldurs gate EE)
My current build is
Motherboard = GA-M52l-S3p Ver 1.0
Power supply = 550w
Memory = DDR2 1066 4gb
GPU = 9600gt 512mb geforce
CPU = Athlon 64 x2 5600+ 2.8ghz
Im not really sure were to start i dont want a whole new build just a small upgrade.
Im considering a couple of things but am not sure the power supply will take it or if it will have much impact.It also mentions on my motherboard website that
"*Note: If you install AMD AM3/AM2+ CPU on AM2 motherbord, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0(5200MHz) to HT1.0(2000 MT/s) spec; however, the frequency of AM3/AM2+ CPU will not be impacted."
Not entirely sure what that means. Thanks for any help.
1.AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ 3.2GHz
2.AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3.2GHz AM3 6MB
