[2048Megabytes]

Here is my current system:

Motherboard Version: Foxconn 6100K8MA-RS (Winfast C51MCP51) FAB1.0 SOCKET 939 with integrated 128 megabyte Shared NVIDIA Graphic controller
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 GPU + nForce 410 MCP chipset
Processor: AMD Athlon 4000+ (2.41 Gigahertz)
Random Access Memory: 2 gigabytes PC-3200 Super Talent (runs at PC-2700 speeds)
Hard Drives: 74.5 gigabyte Western Digital WD800, 7.9 gigabyte Fujitsu MPD3084AT

Looking at possibly buying one of the two below items. Which of the following would make my system more Windows Vista 32-bit capable?

EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600GT Video Card

$10 more for much more performance.

A Quad Core CPU with onboard GFX don't mix.

So go for a better video card over a dual core processor?

 

[lovely?]

yeah, and besides when you finally get away from your 939 you'll be able to keep your video card

The Opteron is essentially more of a server type model there with the Opty 165 the big ocer in that line while the 185 sees the fastest stock speed. Upgrading to an X2 plus a newer card would be the better move for seeing support for Vista and the card last while many are waiting for 9800s. But a newer card is the main thing there.

1) Still slower than mine
2) $5 less, and much slower
3) Even after OCing it to the limits the 8600GTS is better.

Although this does OC quite close to the 8600GTS.

No surprise since those were scheduled to be out around the time the Radeon 3800s were coming out to compete with each other there. Often retail chains will want to be the first to have something new anyways to draw the business in.
