Hey guys,
I built a computer last June, and after awhile i believe that there is something bottlenecking the performance of my system. Here are the specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 7750BE 2.7ghz
Motherboard: Asrock A780GXE/128M
Video Card: XFX ATI Radeon 4850 with 1GB of DDR3
RAM: Patriot Viper series 2x2GB DDR2 1066
Case: NZXT Guardian 921
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 640GB SATA
I am running windows 7, and it runs fine and everything, but the motherboard i have is not listed as Windows 7 supported, so i think that could be reason numero uno.
On the other hand, here are my windows experience index numbers:
CPU:6.2
Memory:7.1
Graphics:7.1
Gaming Graphics:7.1
Hard Disk:5.9
So i think that shows the CPU is the cause, but i think the motherboard is another thing.
Should i upgrade my CPU, or Motherboard, or both? and if either of the two, which brand should i get? thanks!
