So I'm finally upgrading my computer and wondering about a couple of things. This is a budget gaming comp.
Current Specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Intel Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory: OCZ Platinum PC2-6400 DDR2-800 2GB RAM
Graphics Card: GeForce 8800 GT
Power Supply: Corsair 520W
HDD: Western Digital Caviar 640gb SATA2 7200RPM
1. I'm thinking about getting more ram. Would there be a noticeble difference between getting 2gb more or 4gb more?
2. Any new RAM I get would be compatible as long as it's also @ PC2-6400 DDR2-800 right?
3. Would getting another 1TB internal HDD for storage use a lot more power? Is 520W enough?
4. Also considering getting a 24" monitor. Since the aspect ratio is 16:9, does that mean older games that don't support wide screen resolutions like 1920 x 1080 would look messed up if I tried to play them at resolutions like 1024x764?
