Hi all,
Today I received $500 for a scholarship award in check. I am planning to upgrade my computer with that money. Here are my current specs with my opinions.
-new MSI K7N2 Delta2 motherboard. nForce2. This was a cheap replacement for my faulty Epox 8RDA+.
-Athlon 2000+. Planning to upgrade to a better socket A. FSB 133
-768mb RAM. Seems good enough for the time being. However they are three sticks of 256, two of which are PC3200 and the last one is only DDR266. Which means if I get a new processor with an FSB of 200 I can't use that. Decisions decisions
-ATI Radeon 9500pro. Was a great card when I got it. Now it seems to be limited on low to medium graphics on UT, WoW
-SB Audigy 2 Platinum. Good enough
-Lian Li PC-7. Good enough.
I'm thinking of upgrading to a Athlon XP 2500+ and OC that to 2.2 ghz while getting the AIW X800XL. Since it will have TV input I can use my LCD to view TV in college instead of buying a new TV.
