Hey guys sorry if this is the wrong place to post this im new here so don't kill me
I'm getting my dads old computer because hes upgrading to new one for video production.
I play a lot of games on computers so i wanted to see if i can upgrade a few things.
-First i want to get an ATI Radeon HD 5870
-upgrade from windows 7 32-bit Too Windows 7 64-bit (reason being for more ram) want to run about 4 or 6gb of ram. Right now im only running 3.25gb
But theres a catch my dad suposbile talk to a "professional" (dont know in what field) and he said that because of my computers architecture i couldn't update to windows 64bit or get a better graphics card. I think the dude don't know **** so im posting here !
Heres the most detailed system requirements i could find of my computer, let me know what you guys think! THANKS!!!!
