Recently came into some money - just enough to warrant the upgrade of either my CPU or video card, actually - but not both! Currently I'm running a Celeron 466, 192MB RAM, TNT2 M64 32MB at home.
Initially I was dead set on the CPU buy - a P3-750 seems to be in the sweet spot right now, and on this BX motherboard I can crank it to near a Ghz...then I stopped into Undernet's #neochat where other AT members converse and was told a video card (Kyro II? Radeon LE?) would be better in upping speed in games and in general...I'm not so sure. So hence the poll, gimme your insights! Basically I'd like to crank Max Payne up to 1024x768 if possible at a decent framerate, and remember, "chuck the entire system" is not an option!
