Budget cod2 rig?

[georges]

Hey, I was thinking about getting an upgrade as I've been barred from using my dad's PC for gaming(COD2) and mine's pretty rubbish.

I reckon 50-70£ is the top I can spend I reckon as I don't really want to pay more and don't think I'd need to, seeing as I only play on the DX7 renderer.


I have:
Athlon 1800+(my motherboard is limiting the speed from 1500mhz to 1200 :/ for some reason despite supporting the speed )
GF3 ti200
256mb ram
Asus mobo(forgotten model doubt it's necessary).
more detail(sysspec output):

Anyway, I was thinking about getting a cheap mobo and athlon 3000+, maybe some more ram and a 9800Pro, but was unsure how much this would cost, and whether it would actually play COD2 at 1280x960 with everything on low and DX7.

Thanks a lot.

For playing cod2 too much Haven't played it since last winter

Ok I'll have a look into those things. Will have a browse on the bay.

Was mostly wondering whether the 9800 would suffice.

Thanks a lot guys.

Yeah, I upgraded it from ME (was rubbish )

I was thinking about second hand, probably MM or bay.

Sound is fine, I have 5.1 speakers and a SBlive! 5.1, but also an E-MU0404 I use for recording stuff with..

Surprisingly it's fine with this amount of ram, but games more recent than Cs1.6, Sid meiers Pirates, Deus ex and, surprisingly, Dawn of war, slay it. Doesn't really like COD1 either.

I might try get my dad to upgrade his motherboard and proc to an e6300 type jobby and get his old athXP.
