Last night i won the door prize of an Intel Pentium 4 D 2.8 CPU.
Now the question I have is what am i going to do with it?
My current specs are :-
AMD ATHLON XP 2600 , 2x 512Mb @ FSB 400 Ram, APG GeForce FX5700 256Mb (Full Detailed Specs are here
Now orginally I was planning on upgrading this after chinese new year 2007.
Like my computer usage is gaming, and most of the time I am playing MMORPGs and the occasional FPS. So far the only FPS that died on me as been F.E.A.R. And HL2 Lost Coast was very playable.
Now if I move over to
Intel Pentium 4 D 2.8 CPU, 2x 512Mb @ DDR2 667, I face the problem with having to replace most of my existing tech. Like the video card I will be going for will be NVIDIA GeForce 6200 chipset. I would like some thing more, but it really comes down to money.
So the questions is this, how much perfromance increase am I going to expect from changing from AMD ATHLON XP 2600 , 2x 512Mb @ FSB 400 Ram, APG GeForce FX5700 256Mb to Intel Pentium 4 D 2.8 CPU, 2x 512Mb @ DDR2 667, NVIDIA GeForce 6200?
And will it be worth my while? Or should I just sell of my Intel Pentium 4 D 2.8 CPU and continuing kicking my current PC around for another year?
