Hi

My old and ancient 8800GT (1gb) is probably getting a bit long in the tooth to play BF4 when it arrives, im hoping you guys can give me some advice :

My current rig is :
Win7
Intel lga775 8500 3.06ghz
8800gt
8gig ram
New SSD
P5Q mobo

Clearly i dont want to spend hardly any money as the system only has to last another 12 months.

So, is it worth me
1) buying cheap mobo from fleabay and getting a second 8800 to SLI ?
2) Any point upgrading to 8600 for the extra 200mhz? The quadcores seem to go for silly money still - and does the game take advantage of 4 cores ?
3) Upgrade to a card you guys recommend with maybe a combination of the above?

Hope you can help , its been a while since i renewed my PC:mad:
 
BF3 runs fine currently - obviously with lowish settings. I am amazed the CPU will now start to bottleneck the system really bad

Is Wolfdale that long ago now - sighs (and shows his age!)

Any other ideas to help (without spending huge amounts?)
