Hi all. Found the forum via a well known search engine
I'm looking for some pointers ref to changing my graphics card. I started looking in the online retailers and do a bit of research but i'm more confused than when I began.
My PC is self built, I am PC literate but out of touch with components and the GPU area is full of hundreds of options. I am lost. I dont have a budget as such, just need something appropriate for gaming. I was going to get Rome TW 2 but was put of by recommended specs.
PC as is:
Case - LARGE Alienware, full form
MB - Gigabyte X38 DS5
CPU - 3.0g Core 2 Duo ( I forget the model, not overclocked )
RAM - 3g DDR2 PC8500
GPU - GT8800
PSU - Corsair HX620
Runs XP Pro 32bit
1) I will add 1G ram at little cost, no problem.
2) Could go to a Qchip as there are a few about but is a Q at say 2.5ghz going to be noticably better than my 2 at 3.0ghz?
3) Recommend a gpu please !!!
Any more info needed, please ask.
Thanks in advance.
