Osiris Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Hrmmm id go the ram or a new videocard even the GF4 ti4200s arent really expensive and theyll improve ya system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YahoKa Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I take it the MV500 is a CRT ... Go for the new monitor. Get a nice CRT or save up a little bit more and get an LCD. 350 bux will get you an LCD monitor these days. P.S. If your going for a new graphics card, save your cashola and get a 64 MB version of the Radeon instead of the 128MB version - or go for a geforce.
