What should my next Upgrade be ?


Recommended Posts

Looking at my rig listed below anybody will tell i need a Upgrade. But looking at the choices i have i m just not able to decide which should i opt for.

My sole goal is to be able to play any games at/above 75 FPS@ 1024*768 res. even with DirectX9 and its games are available.

I will start with AGP.

The graphic-card , AGP , whatever u call:-

Its the most imp part in our lives(OK rig). Its looks insane i have both Geforce 2 MX and Radeon 64mb (its another story). The choices i have is 2 go for either Geforce 4 ti 4200/4600 or ATI 8500 or wait for ATI R300 / Nvidia NV30(remember both Directx9EnabledCards are/will be 8X). Or should i get a X-box.

The last option is a little tricky. since i leave in Mumbai,India it will be really hard to find X BOX and its DVDs.

Cpu and MB:-

Hey i know Duron Sucks now, But what should i do? Should i go for P-4 2 giga with 850MB and 256 Rd-1026 Ram or AMD XP 2000+ Via KT333 mb and 256 MB 333 ram. (hey remember i want a 8X AGP slot MB).

Or better, wait for AMD Opteron and MBs supporting 8X AGP and DDR 400 and above.

Hey i don'nt have cash waiting to be dumped but my rig looks pale now.

It has served me for better part of year and there r no signs of slowing the most common things i do.

I would wait for your post and then say (OK write) what i think is the most sensible option.

For the moment I'll just upgrade the graphic card with something better, but cheap, an example would be the GF4 MX440.

For everything else I'll wait till December, when a lot of new technology will be available. It's useless to upgrade now if you want features like agp 8x compatibility. Don't you think? ;)
