Hi all.
I have a Nv 4400gt in my 1 ghz system, and im wondering if an upgrade to current cards would be worth it. ie, will the old cpu limit the performance gain of new gpu?
Considering the games that would benefit most from a GPU upgrade won't even run on a 1GHz CPU, I'd say keep that GF4 Ti4400 (if that's what a NV 4400GT is) Not worth upgrading at all.
Another thing to think about is that the holidays are right around the corner and if the season doesn't go that great for the big OEM's you might find a killer deal afterwards.
Plus I think there's an over-saturation in the mid-to-high-range with what, at least 10 models now? Used to be 1 low, 1 mid, and 1 high from both companies. This full spectrum can't but push down the less successful models in price.
Whoa, careful. haven't looked into an AMD Dell, but low end Dell usually means integrated graphics without a slot for upgrading. Basically throw aways. 8O
True, thats a concern....
but i know that every dell that my dad was looking at (all 399-699 machines) had AGP slots.
but thats a good call....Get the cheapest Dell with AMD and a AGPslot/PCIe slot, Double check they have one or the other.....either will make good gaming machines on the cheap.
a1130e get the upgrade for the RAM to512 and leave the rest as is...
This is a HP that i found with a AMD 3200+, 512 RAM, 40GB HDD for $380....i think it has PCIe so with a 6800GS for $200 you should have a very good cheapr gaming computer.
if you are looking for a more powerful soultuion, let me know.....
