holdenrulz Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Okay after finding out about my Ram and whatnot would it be cheaper and better to upgrade my motherboard and ram. This computer is mainly for gaming and surfing the net. Spec's OS: XP pro Graphics: Geforce FX 5700Le (256) Storage: 120 Gb Harddrive 40 GB Hardrive Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-105 Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-106d CPU: Pentium 4a 1800 Mhz Motherboard: ASUS P4T-E Chipset: Intel Tehama I850 Ram: 512 RD So what would be worth upgrading ????? I usually make between AU$80.00- AU$120.00 a week. Can't buy online atm though may be able to in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke15 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 The only thing i would recommend upgrading is your CPU. Other than that, the current specs look ok if your on a budget. Youd be able to run Sanandreas on the Pc . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already am I am thinking on replacing the motherboard purely as I can then use DDR instead of my RD Ram. That and the fact is I hit slowdowns a fair amount with azerus I can only have 1 torrent or it slows down so much it has to be rebooted Do you have any surgestions(sp?)

Cran. Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 RD ram? Don't you mean SD? Anyway, maybe upgrade your CPU and chuck more ram in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIP YEK NOD Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 he does mean RD ram. and i personally would upgrade to a new DDR mobo and DDR ram. you could get some nice componnents for the price of upgrading your RD ram. if you plan to upgrade your processor, you will need a new motherboard. yours currently only supports up to a 400mhz FSB.
