Hi, just a little dilemma Im having that Im hoping someone on here can help me with!
Current PC specs are:
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Mobo
Athlon64 3500+ Newcastle (Running at about 2.4ghz)
Crucial 1GB DDR PC3200
XFX 6600GT 128MB PCI-E
Aerocool Turbine 550W PSU
Processor Im happy with for now, same with the PSU. Im definately going to upgrade my GFX card to a 7900GT very soon as this is what appears to be straining the most when playing games (Which I do quite a lot).
My question is regarding upgrading my RAM. I was interested in buying some Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX. However, with DDR-2 RAM available, my question is whether it will be worth paying £150 on some RAM now, or waiting until next year and buying an AM2 mobo/cpu and DDR-2 RAM. (I will hopefully have saved a lot more money by then, and the AM2 socket might actually be worth changing to).
Im just a little concerned about upgrading my RAM now in case 939 becomes obsolete in the near future, rendering DDR RAM obsolete along with it.
Many Thanks
