Hey peeps, I've been looking around your board for the last week or so as I've just got back from my parents house (I'm living in Thailand) and have been playing COD4 on their xbox360. (cool parents eh?)
Coming back to my PC I was disgusted by how it performs and was shocked to see such a difference!
I'm not a complete computer newbie, I've just been away for a while....
I've read the reviews on this site and now understand for my price range the 4850 is the card to go for, in Thailand they mainly have Sapphire or ASUS cards - is there much difference between brands of the ATI chipsets? I also understand that I could crossfire them later - as long as the speeds are the same?
My computer spec at the moment is....
Windows XP
2.67 gigahertz Intel Pentium D (I'm guessing that is dual?)
2g Ram (running 667 on a 533 board - seems to work!)
Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5VDC-X Rev 1.xx
3 Drives
7900gs Nvidia VGA
580w Tagean
Would I be able to play Call of Duty 4 and other new games with this spec and the 4850? Would you recommend I spend money on something else?
Thanks for the advice,
Rob
