hi
finally upgrading my machine..
i have an asus P4T Mobo, with the first P4 chip 1.2 Ghz with a 256 mb agp card. Saving grace was i have 512mb x 4 RD ram and my left over 128Mb rdram, which has kind of never let me down on speed although had cost me a lot at the time..
The Ram is in perfect conditon.
I. do you think it will sell...???
I built my machine in 2000, so am slow with upgrades,as you can see, dont care much about Vista as i switched to XP like just 2 years back as i was happy with 98' now that i am finally doing it , And talking to people and reading, i was going with
Asus P5N32-e sli ( ALTHOUGH i may not ever use 2 graphic cards but..)
Core 2 Duo E6600 processor
with a nvidia 8600 GT card 256mb.
I met some young kid ( i am 30 now) who i guess are the best to take advise from ,
and he said he hates intel as everything they sell ..money is the main criteria, if u change processor u need to change , ram, and motherboard,etc etc
and said that athlon atleast cares for its loyalist...
So to cut the whole discussion short..
i now am going with
Asus P5B deluxe ( as he felt i did not need sli or the 680i chipset)
Athlon 64 x2 6000+ if i can afford or atleast a 5200+ processor.
Ram he said there is a great deal on a 2 GB Kingston 5300 ddr2 for 80$s,
and card from the 8600 Gt he said to get the 7950 GT or the 7900 GT he said more value for the money.
But in all of this i read about and saw comaprrison charts and i felt , if we talking about value for money, what about the Saffire radeon x 1950 GT 512mb...
But like everyonei have talked to they all say radeon is "crap", either its competition is paying people to say it, as every shop i have visited have said that to me..
So am left all confused ,
i do very basic gaming but have always kept myself open that one day when i do get free time, i'll get into it.
But i do alot of music mixing, video / photograph editing...
Please advice /help.
Thanks...
