Well it's about 3 yrs old and sporting:
2.4ghz p4
ati 9600 xt (agp 4x)
two 256 rdram(16bit) sticks running at 400 mhz
-plus all that jazz
anyway, he's starting to have trouble running games nowadays and wants to upgrade the ram and possibly the video card. I opened it up and the mb looks like it's glued together, ****ing dell. Anyways, I was looking at rdram on newegg, and the shit isn't cheap. I was expecting like clearance prices, but I'm not familiar with technology more than a half a year old since thats when I got into this whole thing.
anyways, what the hell will he need to get for memory, and I'm thinking of getting him a 6800 or something for vid card.
critique?
