What makes more sense ?


Recommended Posts

Hi ,

here my Specs :

P4 1,8GHz (willamette)

ASUS P4T-E

1 GB RD RAM

ATI Radeon 8500 LE

My Question :

I?m thinkinking of upgrading my system.

I either want to buy myself a P4 1,8 or 2 GHz (Northwood) and overclock it to 2,4GHZ.

Or a GeForce 4 Ti 4200.

now I dont?really know what makes more sense for Games...

:ponder: need advic:D:D

I?m also open for any other suggestions on what i should b:) :)

i think it will be close either way - depending on the game, the performance between the geforce ti4200 and the 8500le will probably be better than the increase in mhz/cache of your processor - so that's the way i'd go (for games) :)

Welcome to Neowin :D

Interesting first post, makes a change from the "Hi, I'm new please shower me with attention" threads :)

Enjoy your stay

IDE or SCSI Raid would do more for your system performance than upgrading either of those components. You've got a quick system already, focus on bottlenecks, like your I/O subsystem.

ooh scsi raid... drool.... :p

that could get pretty expensive, but then again, this guy seems to have enough money considering he's upgrading this setup ;) just trying to tell him which of two he suggested was better but you're probably right :)

either way would not be a worth while upgrade, wait a while or maybe get a new video card if its burning a hole in your pocket

like i am really happy with the performance out of my gf4 ti4400..... and im running athlon xp 1900 @ 1.6 mhz and it runs great for any game.... quality and performance not a problem but resolution sometimes stretches it on games like morrowind when u get above 1280x1024 with full detail everything.... so i would say gf4 and great setup already =)

OH YA AND DOMO-KUN RULES!!! azazel- i love the avatar
