I only have $100 to buy some upgrades for my computer. I have a single core AMD processor with a clock of 2.70 Ghz, and an on board 6150 SE Nvidia GPU. I want to know which would increase my performance in gaming the most, a new processor (the most I could upgrade to would be a dual core), or a new graphics card.
And here's another factor to consider. I only have a PCI-E 1.0 x16 slot. I know that 2.0 x16 cards are compatible with 1.0 x16 slots, but won't be performing at their max.
So with that said, which would be the better upgrade for gaming? I know that I can get a dual core and a decent card with $100, but I also need a new power supply if I'm going to get a new card.
