I currently have the following:
Gigabyte k8ns pro mobo
AMD 64 3200+ (socket 754, doesn't support dual channel ram)
x700 ati 256 mb video card (agp)
2x 512mb Geil Ram pc3200
Audigy LS sound card
2x seagate 7200 rpm 80 gb drives (raid0)
windows 64 xp os
I want to upgrade my comuter to a pci-e compatible mobo, should I just spend the money anyway and buy a socket 939 mobo and upgrade my processor too? I have the money to do it, so i'm awfully tempted and from what i've been reading it looks like the future of gaming is amd 64 x2 proc.
Here is a rough idea of what I plan on upgrading to:
SLI compatible mobo (socket 939, amd 64 x2)
AMD 64 x2 (not sure which one yet)
nvidia 7800 gtx
2x 1gb ram (2gb total)
(the rest will be the same)
windows xp 64 os
Can anyone recommend some really good ram, mobo and feedback on the video card I choose? I don't plan on running SLI right now, it doesn't look like that is too much of a benefit right now.
Thanks!
