Current PC specs:
AthlonXP 2000+ 333 FSB
512mb DDR
Radeon 9600 256mb
I have $200 to spend on upgrading my computer (for Half-life 2 of course). And I'm debating on what I should get. My MoBo supports all the way up to AthlonXP 3000+, and dual fed ram.
I heard that the AthlonXP 2700+ is a much better value than the AthlonXP 3000+, Is this true?
I was thinking either get:
AthlonXP 3000+ w/ 400 FSB (Possibly a cheap 512 ddr ram?) (Total: $137)
or
AthlonXP 2700+ w/ 333 FSB AND 512 ddr ram (Total: $170)
Which would make the biggest increase in performance? (mostly for the Source Engine)
Suggestions please!
Thanks
