Hi everyone,
System specs at present: 2.93 GHz P4 , Gigabyte 6800GT, 2 x 512 standard RAM (400mhz), 160gb hard disk, 775 mobo.
I am thinking of upgrading my processor and adding in another gig of RAM. People are telling me that the thing to get is a AMD 3500+, but, they also say that in 6 months it will just be the 'norm'. Therefore, I have heard talk about getting a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ socket 939 Dual Core 2.2Ghz 1Mb and 1Mb Cache. People say that this will last me a good few years, and as I am a gamer, it will last for games that come out for at least, the next two years. Is this true?
Also, is it worth the money if I have it? And will I see a huge improvement?
Lastly, anyone know a good motherboard I can get to be compatible with my specs and this processor?
I would really appreciate it if someone answered these questions .
Many thanks,
Amanat, 19/M/Uk
