June 5, 200322 yr HiI feel its time to upgrade my PC. A few questions,I have a GF4 Ti4600 and a seperate Ti4800SE card - which is better?With regard to a CPU, money is no object really for this so I'm looking to buy a good one, prob either an XP3200 or P4 of some sort -any recommendations greatfully received.Basically what I'm looking to do is to keep a few parts of my existing PC - hard disk & RAM (512mb DDR) and build a new PC.Well actually buy all the parts and take them all to a PC shop for someone to fit em all, I'm wary of all this hardware stuff . Is this a good plan?Also, finally, if I choose my CPU first then a mobo to accomodate my CPU, do I need to be careful which case to choose or is it generally a case (no pun intended) of one size fits all?Thanks
June 6, 200322 yr well if you are going for AMD get the Nforce 2 motherboard. MSI, ABit and Asus make good ones. If you go with intel get a processor with 800 front side bus...kind of hard to get but worth it. hard drive is okay to keep but remember they do get unreliable after a couple years. How fast is it, 2100? 2700? I'm guessing 2100 which will cost you a few frames per second. If that's okay, then keep it. I would keep floppy and maybe CD-Rom drive. Again with moving parts (CD-ROM, hard drive) they dn't age well and best to replace.Case usually accomodate all motherboards. Just make sure you get a good enough power supply. 300Watt at the very least.
