I'm thinking of upgrading my PC. Current specs are:
AMD 2500+
1GB DDR 400
Radeon 9600XT (AGP)
Abit NF7-S
I feel I need to upgrade so I could keep up with the latest games as well as playing those HD videos smoothly.
But I wonder if its worth to upgrade such rig? Let's say I go for Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor. Is it worth it? Would performance jump be significant? Keep in mind should I upgrade I would have to do away my current Graphic Card & mobo.
I don't want to go overboard with my budget (limit to 1.5K).
Any thoughts? Worth it? Or should wait a little longer?
Its hard to upgrade with such of budjet..becuz your rig socket is Socket754 if im not wrong..if u upgrading GC and Mobo then u sure need to upgrade your CPU also.Lets say u buy a 8600GTS/8800GTS cost about 1k+..then plus mobo few hundred la..then u only left few hundred only.And for new mobo(DD2) if running the PC3200 Module is a wasting(But i heard DDr2 board cant run DDR mem,izzit?)AMD 2500+
