I am interested in upgrading either my CPU or GPU, it's either one or the other.
I'm a gamer, the games I play don't really require much juice - sims 2 + all expacs and warcraft III expansion, but I do watch alot of DVDS on my pc. I also contribute to the FOLDING@HOME project.
My current CPU is AMD 3500+ overclocked to 2640 GHZ
My current video card is a Nvidia 6600LE overclocked to 500/810 DDR 2 memory - values are probably 500 / 405 or something?
I doubt my motherboard is suitable for the sockets on the intel core 2 duo processor, but I can give the name of my mobo and someone could clarify.
- Would upgrading the CPU give more on the performance boost or would upgrading the GPU give more on performance?
I'm looking for something that will last for a long time i.e a few years and something that has a chance of matching the standards of newer GPUS or CPUS in the future i.e I won't be tempted to buy the newest gpus or cpus.
-I'm from the UK and my budget is anywhere from £0 - £130 ish as an outline.
- I was thinking of the X1650 ATI card but I'm not sure..
If someone could help me pleaseee, that would be great.
