Hey everyone!
This is my first time posting on this site and I'm hoping for some feedback on what I'm planning to do w/ my current setup. I'm planning to install Call of Duty 4 but I'm lacking something on the horsepower department. Here are the specs on my current setup.
Old:
What I plan on replacing:
I'm not really a hardcore gamer and I really don't need a brand new setup right now. My current one handles everything just fine and I don't plan on over-clocking it. I know COD4 is a graphically a pretty demanding game but I was hoping w/ these upgrades I can at least somewhat hang in there w/ the big boys. Please, give me your 2 cents and any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you fellas!
P.S. - One of my friends suggested that I can mix and match RAMs? Is this recommended? Is it okay if i put my 2 x 512MB Corsair XMS w/ the 2 x 1GB G.SKILL Ram? Both are PC3200 but will they have some conflicting issues? Thanks again.
