Hello,I have a question for anyone with any sensible solutions or answers. I built my first rig back in Dec. 2004. Heres the hardware rundown:
-Abit IC-7G Max Advance Mobo
-1 Gig Corsair 3200C2Pro 2x512 matched sticks
-Pentium 4 3.2g HT Processor
-Visiontek ATI X800XT Vid Card
-Soundblaster Audigy ZS Gamer Sound Card
-2x120G Maxtor Drives
-Windows XP Pro
-Enermax 550 PSU
Im looking to do a partial upgrade to the Video Card just to be able to run some newer games with some friends online. I have the AGP interface so its making things a little more difficult for me. I am also looking to add an additional gig of ram to help as well. Im not really into the overclocking arena nor am I comfortable with hijacking my computer in any attemp to make things unstable. I have read into the HD4670 and HD3850. Does anyone have any helpful links or insight on making my once advanced now aged rig come alive again? IM not looking to go crazy because I do plan on building a new rig in the next few months. Im just looking to get back to having some fun online again with my gaming buddies without forcing them to play CODMW4 or BF2 all the time. Thanks so much in advance for any and all help possible!
