Hello,
I've got a gaming computer that I want to boost the performance of.
Specs are:
NVIDIA 9800GTX+
Intel Duo E8400 3.00GHz
4.00 GB RAM
Vista 64 Bit
P5N-D Motherboard
When playing games with some high end graphics going and a lot of "action" there's some lag. I'm not sure if it's the processor or the video card so I came here to ask. What would be the better upgrade? CPU or SLI. The SLI would be the cheapest but I'm not sure if it will help.
Another thing while I'm asking is temperature. It seems like our computer is running hot. Once I left it on and it had a really bad burning smell coming from it after leaving it on for a couple days. There is nothing wrong with it but I'm not sure if it's a problem.
Thanks in advance!
