My 'current' system is very outdated but I don't have much money for upgrades. This is what I'm dealing with right now:
Athlon XP 1800
GeForce 4 4800Ti 128MB
1GB Ram
350W Enermax PSU
My buddy is giving me his old Athlon 2200 and AGP Mobo (not sure what type ATM, sorry). It will help a little but not a whole lot so I was going to buy a $100-150 GFX card too.
What is a decent card from this range that will work ok with that CPU and PSU?
I found this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130220
It says min 350W so I should be ok but will the 2200 slow it down too much? If so, please recommend one that will make the best use of what I will have. I'm looking for the best price/performance ratio without upgrading the PSU (which I will do eventually when I ditch the whole thing and go PCI-E).
Thanks,
Chris
