spathalogic Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Just wondering; I'm thinking the processor+ Motherboard will need to be the first to be replaced. If you have any suggestions of a combo that'd be compatibly with all the above components, please post it . Maybe it was the chicken nugget? And yes, this is my pseudo-decent system.

cchalogamer Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 It was the nugget. But anyway, I would replace the mobo and CPU 1st. A64 all the way. I just did and i love it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Chicken nugget definitely... if you look at my 2nd rig in my sig... pretty much that whole rig was my previous main rig but with the 9800pro (415/360) in there... so i took the graphics card and everything else in my main rig is new... that's cos i don't like unused hardware laying around... i could have got it in stages, like mobo+cpu and use rest old stuff, then replace stock hs/f with 3rd party, then get better ram, then etc etc...

Kamikaze_Badger Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 CPU. I hate to admit it, but you need a much faster one then a Socket A to get that 9800 XT used fully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 what speed memory? if it isn't PC3200 that that's a huge bottleneck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spathalogic Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Ahh yes, forgot to include that- it is PC3200. Thanks for the info guys; I thought it was the processor+ motherboard too . Though my next purchase may be a new monitor and case... because usually those last (easily) 5 years while the other components last a maximum of two before they're too obsolete to do anything on newer games .

swifty11212 Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 i think its the ram, you can try to overclock the ram but since its "Value" i doubt it would go so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
