Sad story...my most up to date build is an old P4 2.4 Ghz, 1.5 gigs of RAM, and a GF 6800 non-ultra vid card. Just havent built anything in forever...(mostly cause I'm broke)
Anyway...my buddy is giving me a HP XW8200 workstation that he doesn't want.
Dual Xeon 3.4
2 GB RAM (PC3200 I think)
some Quadro FX3400 vid card
and I think the PS is a 600W
there's only one PCI-E slot I think, and unfortuneatly only like 2 SATA slots
Going to get another 2 gigs of RAM
Transplanting what I can from my old comp into it. My old vid card is AGP though.
I'd like a rec on a vid card to put in this thing for some decent gaming if it's even possible. But I don't want to shoot the moon on a card and have it be limited by the processors in the end of it all.
Thanks
