Hi Guys im rather new to the forums and was looking for some help on what to do with my system.
system specs are
asrock 939 dual sata 2
amd 3800+ cpu
1gb ddr400 samsung ram
palit 6800gs 256 mb OC to 450/1100 from 350/1000 but the memory bus is 128 bit not 256!
antec neo he 430w
1 200gb maxtor IDE
2x dvdrw IDE
i was wondering what should be my next upgrade or should i just hold off for say another year and do a complete rebuild a few different opinions would be great help
im currently sitting on an offer from a mate at work who wants to ditch his 1800xt saphire which is 625/1500 at stock for $200 aud but im just thinking my local computer shop sells saphire x1950pros for $250 aud(and just for those yankees out there the exchange is at about 78 aussie cents to the american do-ray-me .and would my psu handle this?ive been told by a few people that it easily would but im still a little sceptical but i dont wanna junk my psu just yet only had it for about 9 months and shelld out $120 for it lol.
as it stands i can play all games at 12x9 with most eye candy switched on and get pretty decent framerates.
also i get 11k on 3d mark 03 and this seems a little low to me considering should it be higher?
Thanks guys looking forward to hearing from you!
