Hi All,
Just picked up a 256MB FX5950 Ultra (mostly to play D3) to replace my 128MB Ti4400 and am thinking I might want to upgrade either the CPU or add another 256MB of RAM as those points look to be the next real bottleneck.
I am currently running my T-Bred XP1700 CPU (the BEST cpu I have ever owned) at XP 2400 speeds completely stable and currently have 512 MB of PC3500 ram running at 2-2-2.
sooooo, what to do? Bump up to a Barton core or add more RAM?
EDIT* Scratch the Barton core idea, the fastest CPU my MoBo will support is a T-Bred xp2700, so that settles that.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
