Look below and you will see that I obviously need an upgrade if I want good fps in fs2004! Im thinking of upgrading my mobo and cpuand DDR ram. Any suggestions on witch mobo/cpu I should buy?I'm thinking of sticking to AMD chips. My budjet is about 500-600$ canadian dollars. witch is around 400$ american I think.Thanks

Check out Newegg for a cpu and mobo. I got mine with a new psu for about $150 US. You might stick with the Athlon XPs. HTH.Todd

Hi Alex,I have the Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, an Athlon XP3000+ and 1GB of Kingston PC2700 RAM. FS runs extremely well, and I would recommend this combination to anyone. If you shop around, it should be within your price range. The XP3000 has dropped considerably in price since the XP3200 came out - when the XP3000 was first released, it sold for $975 CDN, right now it's $350 CDN at a local shop here in Vancouver.As far as newegg.com goes, bear in mind that they're American, so you'll have to pay customs on their products, which could cancel out any savings.Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

Thanks for the info, heres what im upgrading to:Alex

Hi Alex,looks good, one suggestion, though - the XP2400+ runs at 266MHz FSB, so it will be out of synch with 333MHz RAM. This can lead to a degradation in performance (unless you're thinking of overclocking your CPU, and want to make sure you got extra speed available in your RAM). Basically, you have two options:1.) Spending less money: Buy PC2100 RAM instead, it will run at 266MHz, just as the CPU and should give you a smoother performance. A good idea, if you're looking to upgrade again in the future to one of the 400MHz FSB CPUs, which would require new RAM anyway.2.) Spending more money: Buy an XP2500+ (Barton) or XP2700+ (T'bred), they run at 333MHz, just like your RAM.Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg
