hey guys, I built my system some where back in 2009. and i think i when too cheap on the MB here is what i got.
Video: HD 4870 X2
Motherboard: Asus P5Ql-CM
CPU : Q9550 2.8
Memory: 4gb PC2 6400 (800)
Hard-drive: WD SSD 128GB
Upgraded to windows 7 64bit
23'' 1080p monitor
So here is the thing, i think that my video card should be fine to play mostly any game out there max-out. Currently playing Assassin's Creed 1 & 2 among others.
but i have notice that some slow downs while graphics are taking shapes. ( basically i can see rocks and bushes ete...take shape) i don't know if this makes sense to you or if this is normal which i think it is though. So will i be getting better performance (FPS) if i upgrade to a better MB that will allow me to overclock. still i want to keep my old memory or is PC2 6400 too slow now days for gaming.
Thanks,
Ben
