Hello, I want to upgrade my PC, as its processor is really outdated and it only has ddr2 ram. My budget is 300€, and I live in germany (recent sites to buy: [url]http://www.amazon.de/[/url], [url]http://www.alternate.de/html/index.html[/url]). Computer Specs: [list] [*]ZOTAC Geforce GTX 460 GFX Card (doesn't need to be updated) [*]500 GB SATA2 HDD [*]ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Mainboard [*]AMD Athlon X2 6000+ Processor (2x3.0gHz) [*]4gb DDR2 RAM [*]OCZ 600W or TAGAN 600W (I have both lying at home) [/list] The things that need to be upgraded are (as i think this ones have to be): [list] [*]Mainboard [*]Processor [*]Ram [/list]
nobody knows some advice?
mac
Don't like mac at all +too expensive
Well obviously your CPU, motherboard and RAM memory needs to be replaced. I'd suggest getting the [url=http://www.alternate.de/html/solrSearch/toArticle.html?articleId=144187&query=955&referer=detail&link=solrSearch%2Flisting.productDetails]AMD Phenom X4 955[/url] with [url=http://www.alternate.de/html/solrSearch/toArticle.html?articleId=781454&query=xms3&referer=highlight&link=solr%2Fsearch%2Fresult.productDetails]Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 4GB[/url] and the [url=http://www.alternate.de/html/product/Mainboard/ASUS/M4A77T-USB3/250200/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Mainboards&l2=AMD&l3=Sockel+AM3]ASUS M4A77T/USB3[/url].
DDR2 isn't bad yet.
[QUOTE=ghostofme;27908147]DDR2 isn't bad yet.[/QUOTE] Unless you're running 533 or 667 DDR2 is just fine, i had DDR2-800 up until september or october last year when i got DDR3-1600. Though if you're replacing your mainboard it will probably cost less to get DDR3, DDR2 is getting hella expensive, about double the cost per GB for much slower memory. (and if you really want a laugh go look at Rambus XDR RIMM prices)

But DDR also had high manufacturing costs.
