Hello everyone. I posted this in the wrong category. Sorry about that. >.< I'm currently running a:
Dell Dimension 3100
Windows XP SP3
Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz Processor (Socket 775 LGA)
Dell 0JC474 Motherboard
500 GB HD
1GB Memory in the form of 2x 512MB DDR2 (PC2-4300) Memory Sticks
ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series
Intel PRO/100 VE Network Card (Integrated)
My issue is... I'm having trouble running my games. Stuff like World of Warcraft and whatnot runs fine, but I'm Beta testing RIFT and trying to play a few other games, and I'm getting large amounts of lag. Are there any suggestions as to how I can make this PC better? Would it be worth it to upgrade, or just build a custom rig? I'm really good at building computers and identifying parts, as I've been dismantling and building them since I was a kid, so installing new hardware and parts isn't an issue. But I wanted more expert opinion on this.
