I think I need to go for a whole new build.

What are the specs of your current system?

Connor.S · 06-06-2008, 06:04 AM

Intel P4 2.8 Ghz
1gb Patriot DDR
GeForce 6600
320gb Maxtor IDE

not to sure on my motherboard.. and lost my cpuiz program..

Actually, the 9600GT would be the best comparison against the HD 3870

You could upgrade the graphics to a 3850, and you could probably keep on gaming (on the light side) for a year or so.

If you plan to continue gaming though, upgrading the entire rig (and going with PCI 2) would be a much better choice.

^^^ Agreed Next step is ram

I forgot to mention the motherboards socket 478 and AGP im pretty sure.. that kinda knocks out the 3850. correct?
