I've had it with my antique computer unable to run these new games that are coming out nowdays.
My current specs are (feel free to laugh):
Graphics Card = NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS, 256 MB
CPU, Processor = AMD Athlon (tm) 64 X2 4200+
RAM = 2GB
It's the graphics card and CPU I'm concerned of. I'd like to buy some new stuff but nothing too expensive but something that'll hold for some time.
I live in sweden so you can figure out the currency yourself.
So........ any advice?
Looking at some things, the X2 4200+ runs on a Socket 939 on the motherboard. This is an old type of socket and not even Newegg has any processors for that type.
However, 2.2Ghz will be fine until you buy a new PC, hopefully soon. Is the 7600GS the PCI version or the AGP version?
He may not know the difference between AGP and PCIe. Op, download this program: [url]http://www.filehippo.com/download_speccy/[/url] and take a screen shot.
Why would you snip the conversion rate from the OP?
You can't expect us to do EVERYTHING for you.

The 7600 GS is AGP

Fair enough. I recommend you get an entire new build.

No, he can still upgrade to the ATI HD4275 or something like that if he wants it to last a little bit.
But other than that you're shit out of luck.

He would be able to buy a 4650 or a 3850, but then he's just beating a dead horse.

True, but to answer his question about making it last, that's the only option.

Not really. If he was able to last this long using a midrange 7-series, he can last for a while longer using either of those.
I'd recommend you to save up some money and build a completely new PC.
