I had no idea my AMD 1Ghz was considered slow! Now I can uprade to a XP2200 and buy a new motherboard for around $200.

:eek:

sounds good.. but 1 ghz isn\'t all that slow.. by gaming standards anyway.. a good GFX is were it all is these days. Aswell as good mem.

I\'ll be getting a new processor in JAN, I have a 1GHZ at the mo, I\'ll get whatever is the fastest at the time, oh and a new mobo since mine sucks and wouldn\'t handle a better processor.

My mb handles up to Xp2.6ghz right now. Donno if it will go any higher as the Faster Xps have a higher FSB.

Not if you got a old mobo, just check the multiply table on the mobo.

I\'ll probably get a new graphics card, more RAM, crap like that.

I don\'t know anything about soundcards but I know I need one. While listening to music it skips and my bro told me its cuz my soundcard sucks. Anyways what I\'m trying so say is are soundcards just as expensive as video cards?

« **Reply #9 on:** October 11, 2002, 01:09:39 PM »

no, soundcards are so cheap, like £40, you can get a basic card for £5

I need a whole new system. My PII 233 is way too slow now. My voodoo 2 12mb is a bit crap for the latest games too.

I will probably buy a new one before christmas.

For the love of god Kurt, upgrade!

« **Reply #12 on:** October 14, 2002, 04:39:30 PM »

For that matter Kurt, you should own an entirely new computer, that thing has gotta be 7 years old.

Get a nice one around $500-1000, go from there for a nice GFX and Memory.

I still have my good \'ole pIII 667/128 ram/ GF1 combo, its still going strong and can even run UT 2003. Even my brothers PII 400 and voodoo 3 manages to run most of todays games

you forgot to say it runs it at ut2003 at 4fps.
