Hey all,
I've got my rig as listed in sig, Q6600 @ 3.0 with AF7pro, 8800gts 640, 2 x 1gb g.skill ddr2800 RAM in an Antec P180.
With the tax "stimulus" check expected to come out sometime this month... I'm thinking of using 3-400 for upgrades.
Here are my initial thoughts:
1. Getting 2nd 20" (1680x1050) monitor
2. Getting 4 or 8 gb ram and switching to 64bit OS
3. Getting new 750i mobo & a 2nd video card
Not real sure what to do I guess, was looking for tips and advice.
I really like the idea of dual monitors, but when I try it now with just the 8800 it was a little laggy trying to game & watch a movie. That's why I was thinking of a second video card...
I also love the idea of having lots of RAM... so the 64bit OS idea is appealing as well.
All I use my computer for is gaming and watching movies/anime... And sometimes photoshop cs2.
Let me know what you think of those 3 would be the best option, or if I could somehow accomplish 2 of the 3 with my intended budget...
Thanks in advance
