Hi guys,
I didnt know where to post this...sorry.
Anyway, i have just recently decided that i want to upgrade my GC. Currently i have a Radeon 9600 pro 128mb which is starting to get like a worn out old donkey. I found out that its stock clocks should be 400/300? but its currently running at 398/201 and if i do try to oc it it just dies
Seeing as I am still on AGP and running a 478pin Intel I was going to go for the option of buying a Gainward 7800GS+ because upgrading to PCIe seemed to be to pricey. After looking around a bit I found people saying its not to much and you can upgrade for a reasonable price. So I looked about and found that I could get a fairly decent system for less than £300 pounds. This is what I may get-
Mobo-ASRock Socket 775 Intel 915PL PCI-E
Processor-Intel Pentium 4 630 Socket 775 2MB 800FSB (3ghz)
GC- Radeon X1800 XT 256mb
It took me a while to find those parts, im not sure about compatability but hopefully if im wrong someone will point me out. I definintaly know my Ram will run with it (DDR-SDram pc2700) Also if anyone can find a better set up for under £300 feel free to tell me
Now my question is that if those part are compatable would i be better off getting them or sticking with my current set up and just getting the Gainward 7800GS+ ?
Will these part help me run current and next gen games fairly well?
Thanks a lot
Harry
