Ok, as usual, I have the upgrade bug. Thing is, I am on a budget that doesn't currently allow it.
My current system consists of: pentium D 805(mildly occd to 2.8), ECS MB, 2gb ddr2-533, 600w psu, AIW X800XL, and a samsung 400gb hdd, running XP pro.
I do light video/photo editing, run MS office '07 always, watch TV and surf the net.... no gaming at all.
I want to upgrade to Vista(yeah I know, but I need a change). My question is, since I am on a "no-spending" budget, would buying a good cpu cooler and oc'g to 3mhz be good enough for what I do?
Possibly getting me by another year when new stuff comes out and prices drop?
Thanks ~ Chris
