Hi guys, I am looking forward to upgrading my computer very soon and am wondering which to upgrade first as according to which is the worst bottleneck in my system; My choices of upgrade are 4GB DDR2 @ 1066 Ram or 7200RPM 64MB Cache 1TB Hard Drive. Which is a better choice to get first?
By the way, the HDD is approx $97 and RAM is approx $130.
My system specs are:
GA-MA770-UD3 (rev 2.0) Gigabyte Motherboard
AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition @ 3.2Ghz
XFX HD 5750 1GB VRAM
3GB DDR2 @ 667 Ram
5400RPM 8MB Cache 150GB Western Digital Hard Drive (IDE)
Windows 7 Ultimate - 32bit
So should I get the 4GB DDR2 @ 1066 G-Skill RAM first? or the 7200RPM 64MB Cache 1TB Western Digital HDD (SATA2)?
Please keep suggestions to either of the two! Thank you, and much is appreciated
