OK im planning on doing a MAJOR UPGRADE on my system and I would like here some peoples suggestions.
I have a:
Pentium 4 1.9 ghz (crappy willamete core)
512 MB (crapy) Rdram
Geforce 6800 gt running in an AGP 4x slot, upgraded from a radeon 8500.
Intel 850Gb motherboard
My plan is to get:
Athlon 64 3500+ socket 939
1-2 gb of DDR memory
Asus AV8 motherboard
Im keeping my geforce 6800 gt : )
My question is should i get DUAL CHANNEL DDR pc 3200? or regular DDR pc 3200? What benefit does DUAL channel have over regular DDR because from what I can see Dual Channel doesnt have that much benefit. So if anyone has any suggestions on this please tell me.
O and I dont plan on spending alot of money the processor is $350 MOBO is $140 and I would like to spend not much more then 600.
I dont plan on doing this upgrade until the end of the year.
