Anything I can do??

Forsberg212avs · 02-22-2005, 02:45 AM

New to the forums, but just curious if there is anything I can do to safely soup up what i have currently. My main use is gaming (WoW/EQ2 type stuff). Here is what i have in it currently.

Soyo sy-kt600 dragon plus v2.0 motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2000 processor
768mb PC2700 333mhz ram
GeForce fx 5500 128mb video card
I use the onboard sound card with mother board

Think thats most of the important gaming components, if there is any other info let me know that you would need.

Thanks.

Well, if you care about sound (which I never have, as long as I can hear it), you could get a new sound card/speaker system, but otherwise, I can't see many better upgrades other than the processor/motherboard, which you could stand to replace soon.

i've got decent speakers, and dont have any problem with it. I just purchased the motherboard and it'll handle the 400 mhz ram, and up to like a 3 ghz processor (just wont support the dual ram or whatever it is called, im drawing a blank) I will probably upgrade processor soon, but right now for the money to upgrade to much better its not worth it for me.

dual channel u mean if u want to make it a "safer" for when ur playing onlin and just to be a better experience, get a radeon 9600 rather than the 5500 and i do believe that a 9600 128 mb is only liek $100 and a 5500 is liek 110-120

Dual channel is a mobo feature ... not a video card feature....
