Don't fucking upgrade it. What you have is as good as that rig is gonna get. That person who posted firse obviously didn't read that you had a P4. [editline]12:56AM[/editline] [QUOTE=xxncxx;24372287]Get a 5770.[/QUOTE] Fuck this guy. Suggesting a 5770 wit a p4
Get a better processor, like Core 2 or even i3, but that would mean a new motherboard so just save it.
Just save up for a new computer dude. There nothing you can really do that will make this computer any better.
Save up, it'll be better in the long run. And you can make a nice server out of what you've got right now when you get a new PC.
Let's see, a shitty old CPU, a low-mid end graphics card and 2 gigs of ram. If you wanted an upgrade, you'd have to replace pretty much everything. Just save up for a new computer.
Alright, I decided to get a gig of ram so the computer is bearable for gaming again (It had 3.2, but then one fried to death), and save the rest until I can actually afford a barebones I can upgrade. Thanks for the advice bros. :h:
Good choice. Make a new thread when you want to build.
