Hey. My comp is old, but I can't afford a new one or even if I could I would buy a fancy laptop instead. My current comp is gonna become a server someday which it should be more than powerful enough for.
My video card is still pretty awesome (successfully unlocked too). However, my comp does get choppy when playing BF1942 and BF2. I didn't think it would make a difference, but it appears either my CPU or Ram is definitely causing a major bottleneck. My CPU is a 2.4GHz, 533Mhz FSB P4 with no HT (overclocked to 2.66Ghz). My ram is 1GB PC2100.
Do you think I would see a better boost with a 3.0GHz, 800Mhz FSB P4 with HT CPU or 1 GB of PC3200? Both can be had for $90 each so it's one or the other. Best thing is my MB supports both so no other upgrades needed.
