New to the website but not to forums, so i'll atleast have the general jist of that.
All i really want to know is, is this upgrade worth doing or wait till later when the gap between my computer and a upgrade is more.
*My Current PC*
AMD Barton 2500+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Corsair XMS Series 256x2
Sapphire Radeon 9700PRo
*The upgrade*
GIGABYTE GA-K8NXP-SLI
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester
MSI NX6600GT-TD128E Geforce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 PCI-Express x16
I use to keep up with computer related stuff till a few months after i built my first and current pc. I play Halo 1 and Counter Strike all the time but cant run it at its fullest without issues. Hopeing to upgrade from my 22" monitor i bought used off ebay for 50 bucks to a new flatscreen NIC or something of the sort. To good res. and refresh rate would be good.
And i seem to have notice all of sudden this new SLI buisness. Running 2 Graphics cards together with a connecter. Now that i found to be pretty cool but not affordable at the moment. Wanting soon so i can save for the 2nd Video card later.
So yea, stricly gaming and internet use pc. And burning music but i already got a 52x24x52 burner. And Logtich Z680 5.1 surround sound speakers and the MX700 wireless keyboard and mouse combo. Im good on all the extra's, just wanting to upgrade the main brute stuff and working off that.
Long enough post?
