I currently have:
Gallatin P4 3.4Ghz
GA-8AENXP-D mainboard
2Ghz 266 DDR2
Geforce 8800GT
...and it runs like ass. I play World of Warcraft quite a lot, and have to run it on very low settings, and it STILL sucks. Not even bothering with Crysis, etc, at the moment.
So I was thinking that I should get some more memory, and maybe that would help. But looking on google I see that I could probably get a new board/processor/memory quite cheaply, that would run far better than my ancient Gallatin. Graphics card will be ok I think. Or would more memory suit my purposes (and a possibly idiotic question, would 800Mhz memory be usable on the board, I know it would not run at that speed if so, finding it difficult to find older sticks).
My budget is pathetic, I am a single Mum of two, and my ex build this machine - the last one I build was a Socket A board!
Thanks in advance
