I am looking to spend a very small sum on upgrading my 3rd PC.
E7400 Core2duo
2GB Kingston Valueram DDR2 667
ASROCK 4-Core/Dual Sata II Rev 2.0
ATI Radian 9800 AIW Pro 128 (yeah, the tuner no longer works - no software to run it)
Thermaltake 420 W psu
Roswell Case
Liteon DVD-Rom
Seagate 80gb Hd
Windows 7 Home Premium
I am planning on replacing the ASROCK with an inexpensive newer board either with an onboard GPU or negotiating with the spouse to get a newer Fermi 460 GPU for my Primary PC and installing the MSI GTS 250 512 on this one.
My question - is it at all worth just buying another 2 pack of DDR2 667 ram or ponying up for 4 gb of DDR2 800 or 1066?
I'm not gaming this one. It's just a net surfer for the bedroom (mostly for the spouse to play Literati and Magic Spheres) and it MAY get a Hauppage TV tuner some day.
