I have an older system built a few years back....
Athlon 64 3000+ (skt 939)
Gigabyte K8NF9 m/board
2 Gig Crucial DDR 400 Crucial RAM
GeForce 6600 256
I have an unbelieveably limited budget for upgrades. Actually I don't have a budget, but I've managed to squeeze £25, and bought a second hand X1800XT (256 version) on eBay.
I know the processor is gonna bottleneck this, but do you think this is gonna be a noticeable upgrade. Is it worthwhile ? Or should I have bought a better CPU for the money (could have got a 3700 for the money)
