Hey all,
Haven't posted in a bit but whenever I've turned to you guys for help I've always gotten many many good replies, so hopefully today that is the same
I had originally planned to built a new rig last month as my PVR was dieing and I was going to turn my current machine into a new PVR. Well I managed to fix my current PVR and then I also ended up buying an entire new 5.1 Home Theater and Receiver so I don't really want to spend the coin to get a new top rig at this point, plus Conroe is comming out, and prices will be changing and what not.
Here is my problem, I have a P4 2.4b with a gig of ram and a 9800pro. This is AGP obviously, also I have a Asus P4PE mobo so I can only do AGP 4 and not 8 (although I beleive in real world time there is almost no difference).
My video card is really starting to hold me back, I've noticed there are a few new AGP cards still comming out, do you guys think I can upgrade to anything, and if so will my CPU really bottleneck me or will I still notice big gains? Finally if I can upgrade what card should I upgrade to?
