hello, i am a total noob to computers and have not the slightest clue.
at the moment i have a tower with an amd athlon 2000+ xp running at 1.67ghz
im looking at upgrading the cpu before anything else as its probably the weakest part of my system however i do not know what my mobo is. i bought the tower used and the guy that sold it me doesnt know either.
the general specs of my tower (that i actually know) are
amd athlon 2000+ xp 1.6ghz
geforce 5200fx
1 gb ram
other than these im clueless, how do i start to upgrade?
( im wanting to upgrade so that i cna play games like cod 4, nothing higher really, i have my 360 for the most modern games but i would like to play older games like cod 4 at a good level)
so can anyone help me to determine what i need and have to do
thanks in advance
if its any help my tower runs max payne 2 on medium settings fine, and dawn of war dark crusade ok on medium setting
