i would like to get another year out of my dying breed s754 by makin' a couple upgrades
specs
Athlon64 2800+ @ 3000+
Gigabyte GA-K8Ns nF3 250
Samsung 512 @450mhz (upgrade to 1.5 min if gfx upgrade)
6600gt@ 561/1200
Enermax 460w PSU
the only reasonable upgrade i would do is RAM and gfx.
processor i can clock to a stable 3200+ if i need to and doesn't seem reasonable to spend the 300+ on top end s754 (canadian)
i'm thinkin' about the following gfx:
eVGA

http://anitec.ca/product/5702/evga_e_geforce_7800gs_256mb_agp8x/
would i get the proper performace out of the 6800 let alone the 7800 due to bottleneck?
or...just wait til end of may and open my cheap pockets for dual core?
i'm a moderate gamer but do not want to run new games on a low 800x600.
right now my GT has been good to me, but feel summer time it's gonna get it's ars kicked.
