I need to keep this old but faithful gaming rig running nicely for another year till I bite the bullet and build again. I
CPU: AMD 64 3000+ (Socket 939)
RAM: 2GB DDR 3200
VideoCard: GeForce 7900GS VideoCard 256MB
Monitor: 15” TFT
I have many thoughts as to what to upgrade here.
CPU: Possibly the main bottleneck, upgrade to a 939, Dual core?
Or a higher clocked single core?
GPU: At 1024 x 768, buying a new 250 GFX card a waste of money.
Should I buy a 19” monitor and a 9600GT maybe?
