Shaggy Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 With Christmas coming soon, I should have enough money to upgrade my computer. What do you think is upgrade worthy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 Gforce Fx video card possibly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolDfiNger Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 vid card and ram i think would be first on my list, for gaming, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 yep, video and ram if its for gaming.. you should have atleast 512mb of ram and a geforce 4 ti 4200 or faster video card. If you can hold off, then wait a month or two for the geforce fx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5k Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 if you get enough for a fx, I want your grandma! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 the FX cards (there are two models) will be priced about the same as the geforce ti 4600 when it first came out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yak8998 Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 I thought the gfFX wasn't coming out until March...erm, that is a couple of months. I'd say 256more, maybe upgrade to a faster speed DDR if your mobo supports it. I would wait on the graphics card, after the gfFX comes out, the ti4000 series will most likely plummet in price, and probably the high-end radeons as well (9500, 9700, pro versions too). Besides that save your cash for when P5 or clawhammer (isn't that the next gen AMD?) comes out... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 Yes. I just got ram and now its time for me to get a new vc. I think Im going with the ti4200 128mb and then ocing that mother to a ti4600. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 thats a good plan. I like to wait for stuff to get cheaper cause everyone that bought there stuff the first day looks like chumps but I really want a raedon 9700...like...maybe Id give my right nut, cause that one has been bothering me latley...hmm myabe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolDfiNger Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 just read in maximum pc that the geforce fx will be priced in line with the high end radeons, which is what about the high end ti's were priced at, hmmm, how much performacne over the 9700's should it get?
