Ok heres the scenario. I recently came across one thousand dollars, so I could put together a half ass machine for that, or I could upgrade my current machine to where i could play games right now pretty decent.
Idea 1: get a new vid card for my current system. Here are the specs.... amd 2400 plus 2ghz processor, 1024mb pc2100 266mhz ram, radeon 64 mb 9000 video card, 7200 rpm 60gb hd. I was thinking of just slapping a 6800 gt 256 in this thing after the new 512 card comes out in january. Does anyone think this is a terrible way to spend 500 dollars?
idea 2: put together a computer with decent processor and weak type video card like the 5700le 256er or somthing basically skimp on teh vid card til later when i get cash.
