so, i've finally grown tired of my current rig. it's getting slow, and not running games brilliantly.
at the moment i'm using:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice (at 2ghz)
(i think) 1gb Corsair Value Memory (2x512mb Dual Channel)
ASUS A8N-E mobo
nVidia Geforce 7800GT
amongst others.
i can't really afford a new graphics card, and guess that it's still not so bad. i'm just wondering, should i stick with AMD or do the wonderfully expensive jump to Conroe?
if so, could you recommend me which chip and mobo to purchase.
AND, another 1GB of memory that's actually good for it's price.
i'm willing to spend about £400 perhaps (if i'm going intel) but not that much if i'm sticking with AMD.
FINALLY, what do i need to buy and how do i change chips? never done this before
gracias.
