I would like to upgrade my computer for gaming purposes mostly. Unfortunately i am a hack when it comes to this stuff, so i need help.
Current setup.
motherboard - k8m800m (no idea what that means, lol)
AMD Athlon 64 3000
GeForce FX5200 128mb
Soundblaster Audigy
512 MB DDR Ram
1. What TYPE of ram is the best? I would like to upgrade to 2 GB of DDR2 RAM but i am not sure if it is compatible with my system? (i am in the dark when it comes to ram)
2. Any recommendations on a high performance video card?
3. Does Soundblaster Audigy work with 5.1 speaker setups?
4. I am hoping i wont have to upgrade the processor. Advice?
5. How long until my motherboard will need to be upgraded?
6. Other comments/tips? (I need all the help i can get)
THANKS!
