I've looked around the forum for a bit now, and I'm looking for some thoughts on upgrades to my current system. I mainly am a gamer. Right now I'm on COD2 and I'm starting to notice some frame rate problems. I'm wondering if there are some minor purchases I could make to speed up things a little. I see my mobo is being phased out so I realize sometime in the next year or so I will be looking at a new system. Here are my specs:
Mobo: DFI Lanparty Pro875
CPU: P4 2.4 HT
Ram: Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PT 1GB DDR400 XMS3200
Video: ATI Radeon 9800 128mb
Sound: SB Audigy 4
PS: Antec 350w
HD: WD 60gb 7200
Nothing is OC, yet, air cooling only, right now.
I'm thinking after looking around that my video card might be the weak link? I don't do any active temp monitoring, but notice on boot up after a while of playing COD2, my cpu temp is around 65 deg. F. So is cooling my problem?
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
