Hey guys,
I am going to get either a Radeon 9700 Pro OR a AthlonXP 2600+ for Christmas.
I can't decide which one to buy. Below is the system it will be on and the parts that will remain depending on which item I'll buy.
motherboard: Asus A7N8X motherboard (nforce2 chipset for those that don't know)
Ram: 512MB of XMS PC3500 C2 ram (2 256mb sticks)
CPU: 1800+ ---------->> If I don't buy the 2600+
Video Card: GF3 Ti 200 ----------->> If I don't buy the Radeon 9700 Pro
I'm trying to figure out what would be the best investment at this time. I'm going to overclock the system, so I know the 2600+ will let me do that nicely. However, the Radeon will kick but even with an 1800+ in the system.
Please vote as to what you think the system
