As topic says I have an AGP Motherboard that I'd like to get the most out of before I do a full upgrade in 18 months-2yrs time.
Comp details at the moment
Mobo - Asustek A8V Deluxe
Memory - 2 x 512MB, PC 3200DDR (200Mhz)Corsair
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Core speed 2200 , multiplier x 11)
Gfx - Nvidia 6600GT - 128MB
Comp struggles running todays games - LOTRO+CoH have to be run at low resolutions.
Was thinking of another 1 Gig of ram and an ATI 1950Pro 512MB.
Would the processor bottle neck the 1950? Perhaps overclock the CPU?
Maybe just upgrade to an ATI 1650?
Replace all the ram with more up to date components?
Been very very happy with my 6600GT - wouldn't mind staying with NVidia if theres an option there.
I'd prefer not to replace Motherboard/PSU/CPU due to extra expense - dont have PSU details at the mo - think its 450W.
Cheers in advance.
