Oooookkkk, so I think my computer is dying because of my graphics card. I think that's why it's not working. I made another topic about it in the help forum. Anyways... I'm thinkin about updatin my computer a little bit. I was plannin on just gettin a new motherboard with a PCI-E slot, and a new g-card and call it good. I don't think it'd be worth it to spend the money on an AGP card, because of the performance difference.
My computer is a Dell Dimension 4550. It's been good to me for real long, and even with the old g-card, it's ran a **** of a lot of games pretty well. Specs are:
P4 2.4 GHz processor
640 MB RAM
GeForce 4 Ti 4200
So my question is... what do you guys suggest I put in my computer? I don't have the money, nor do I want to dump $1500 to make a nice computer. My cars rank way ahead of that. I just want to get my computer back on its feet, with a bit more juice. That way I'll be able to play some new games, and also run my old ones with a lot better graphics.
I was thinkin about somethin like this for a graphics card, but I need some help with a motherboard. It seems like most of the cheaper motherboards support a P4 Prescott? I dono wth that is, so I dono which type of board I need to buy, or should buy. So, any help?
