Hello everyone i have a question, obviously...
i have just upgraded my system from a p3 @ 1.3 to a celeron e1200
now dont bag on it it was only 25 dollars with the mobo!
i want to know if getting a better gpu would help pc performance
right now i have a geforce 2 mx400 it can surprisingly play 720 video from youtube and a 720 rip movie
however i oced my cpu to 2.0 from the stock 1.6 the processor runs a lot better but the system is less stable i blame the gpu because linux says something about my gpu not working
when i downgraded in the bios to run the gpu @ x2 mode it became considerably more stable. i also blame it because it seems to crash more when using the gpu more also it is by far the hottest thing in my open air pc with a fan sometimes pointed at it. the cpu never really hits the 50's idles at ~40c i ahve 1 500mb piece of generic ram and run in an asrock 4coredual vsta
my question is should i upgrade my gpu if so to what?(please keep it at 30$ max)
i have a pcie slot 4x
should i also get more ram?
i never seem to use it all exept once in a blue moon
i was looking at this but dont know if it will run on my mobo
