Hello everyone, i've recently acquired a new PC here. It's a PC I built in my networking class and well.. it was free pretty much. It runs fairly solid and i'd like to use it for some light gaming, but I do want it to run very fast and responsive.
However it only has 256MB of RAM and I do want to upgrade to 2GB or possibly 4GB but i'm not sure if it's even worth it with the processor I have. The processor is the same speed as my laptop and that can run some games fairly well. I ran a test at crucial and it gave me this:
So basically i'm wondering should I just sell the whole computer and invest in a better processor and overall parts, or would upgrading the RAM be sufficient?
