Quick question for everyone. I currently have a computer with an AMD 2500 XP processor at 2Ghz. I have the opportunity to buy 2 xeon processors with 512 kb caches, running 2.2ghz.
From a gaming aspect, is this a good idea? The AMD runs fairly well, but i've noticed my bottleneck is most definitely my processor *1 gb ram and a e-vga 6600vid card*.
I can get these xeons for fairly cheap, but I'm wondering whether I am better off saving up for an AMD 3400 or something like that. Also, since I currently have an AGP motherboard, I take it I would have to upgrade to an PCI mobo at least, correct? Would this mean changing ram as well?
Any input would be greatly valued, thank you.
