Upgrade advice please

I reccommend a GeForce2 32MB ddr or at least an MX.
Let the rest be, at least until the new Athlon DDR mobos are out, and stable.

Areed, next you "may" need a hard drive if you start adding games or downloading music. The CPU is definately less of a need compared to the GPU.

Here is some real professional advice from a professional IT. One thing you wanna consider is do you like multimedia then games, or games then multimedia?

If you just play games, don't want to watch TV while working on homework or TV and talking to peeps on AIM, or editing videos and making movies and what not, then get the geforce2 GTS. If money is tight, get the geforce2 MX. I recommend ASUS as your name brand.

If you want to do multimedia, making videos, recording shows on your computer, editing them, making ecards and stuff from pictures you snaped while watching TV, then get the ATI all in wonder Radeon. I wouldn't get the Radeon card for any other reason. I got this card because my 13 inch tv blew and i wanted a new card and a new tv and vcr and video capture card and tivo looked cool. this card does all of that! BTW, looks nice on my 17 inch monitor too.

Voodoo is dead, i wouldn't consider them for the time being.

So there you go. Instead of getting the biased "Get geforce 2 GTS" bullcrap, i gave you some realistic ideas you can think of. The ATI AIW Radeon card is great! Looks really cool too! lol! The only problem that concerns me are the drivers. I hope ATI will get there act together. Geforce 2 probably will be the choice for you, as most people just wanna play games really fast

Good luck!
