Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on my system. I am having trouble figuring out how well it stacks up to the newer systems out there. I don't need top of the line but I don't want to keep putting money into this system if it isn't worth it. On the other hand I don't want to spend a lot of cash on a new system to find out that I didn't really gain that much performance.
I am mostly interested in playing online games, primarilly MMO's and while I run most of the older ones fine I am not happy with the peformance in newer games and it is painful running Warhammer Online. I did update all my drivers and reduced settings etc for the game but now I am not sure if it is just the game being new/unstable/etc or if my system is just dated.
Thanks for any and all tips/advice.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.42GHz
ASUS A8N-SLI DELUXE ACPI BIOS Revision 1016
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 DDR3
3.0GB RAM DDR PC3200 400MHz
OS Windows XP Home Edition SP3
