Because the prices have gone down I want to make a small upgrade and I don't know what's best to do. It's basically for oblivion and cs4. Current: Dual Core Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Asus m2n4-SLI 2 x 512MB DDR2-533 SDRAM kingston nVidia GeForce 7600GT 256mb XP SP3 So I'm thinking, either getting 2 more 512 mb two get 2 gb of ram, or getting 2x1GB ram or maybe 4x1GB ram and throwing out the ram i have now, (iunno which would perfom best) or getting a new video card? Can someone tell me which would be best option and what kind. Any help is greaaatly apreciated thanx
memory is dirt cheap you can get 2x2gb DDR2 800 kit for $50 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820231122. You will probably see a bigger difference with a new vid card how much do you have to spend? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130339 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814161235
memory is always the best way to beef up your pc... makes it run smoother, and appz load faster... unless you wanna spend the money and get a new gfx card...
Buy some rams, for photoshop, and buy a graphics card for Oblivion. Oblivion wants some serious video buffer on that sh*t, and a 256mb 7600GT ain't gonna cut it. Consider a 512mb 9600GT or HD4850. More rams alone isn't gonna make a huge lot of difference in Oblivion.
Thanx guys. Ok im getting the 4 GB ram you suggested, its really cheap I hope Ill see a distinct difference in CS4 and everything else. How do I know that ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820231122 works with my current material (motherboard) ?
depends if your pc was a pre-built they usualy have numbers like Example only - HP 9200i or Advent 7200 goes to google types HP 9200i - advent 7200 motherboard information should be listed
9600GSO + 2GB RAM GMV, would make your system into a reasonably solid gaming rig, nothing insane but certainly solid.
