Ok guys my system specs are as follows
AMD Athlon 3000+ 64bit
Nvidia 6600gt 128mbit
DDR 1gig pc3200 *2x512*
Abit KV8 Pro Motherboard
Now my problem is my motherboard does not support dual channel. My motherboard only has 2 slots for memory. I just bought this pc about a year ago... the Mobo and Proc are 754 pin I think that's bad... not sure.. i guess the 940 is far superior to the 754 someone explain why please. My bottom question is, would it be worth it to just upgrade my 6600gt and go radeon or maybe just get a 6800 ultra 256mbit card and then swap out the 2 512 and get 2x1gig sticks of ddr. Or because the motherboard does not support Dual Channel should i scrap the entire computer and get a 940 pin with dual channel support ddr 2 etc etc. + my brand is not corsair or kingston.. i want to know if this is like making it so i wont be able to play Quake Wars on top graphix or bf2. I mean i can play most games medium-high settings , this includes fear,hl2,bf2... but i can't crank the af to x16 and aa to like 8 and volumetric lighting on in fear or nething So what's your guys's advice? Im hoping i can just upgrade graphics card and get 2 gigs of mem and that just because it doesnt support dual channel im not getting screwed?
