Hello to all!
I am getting a new motherboard and processor soon, and I was just wondering what kind of performance gain I should expect.
Old stats:
Intel Celeron D Socket 478 @ 2.53Ghz
ASRock P4i45GV Motherboard
Integrated graphics
512MB RAM PC3200
1 40gig 5400RPM hard drive 1 20gig 5400RPM hard drive
New Stats:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Socket 939
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 ATX AMD Motherboard
PNY Verto GeForce6200 AGP8x GFX card 128MB
512MB RAM PC3200
1 40gig 5400RPM hard drive 1 20gig 5400RPM hard drive
Yeah, so those are my specs, then and.... err... soon (i hope). What do you think? Will my new system be greatly limited by the fact that my hard drives are only 5400RPM (I don't game much, and I don't have enough money for a decent hard drive). Yeah... so what can I expect? Oh and also, that motherboard is supposed to be upgradable with a special card that will make it socket AM2 compatible... any idea where I could maybe get that in the future?
Thanks for your help
