At present my system is:
Athlon 900
Asus A7V M/B
PSU 300W
Win 98se
512 RAM
DirectX 9.0
Crucial Radeon 9200se
This works just fine for most of my needs, except games, mainly flight sims,
(FB, IL-2, Lock-on etc) I realize that the CPU is probably the bottleneck
at the moment, so I want to upgrade to get a reasonable performance
increase, so that when there's more than two or three aircraft around, I
don't get a slide show!
Could anybody suggest a M/B, CPU, video card combination which would suit
this set up without breaking the bank? I'm probably hoping to spend about
£150 -£200 and I don't really want to change the OS or the PSU.
Regards and thanks in advance
