Hi again.

what kind of pofomance gain could my dad get from,

This,
AMD Opteron DualCore 165 Socket 939, @ 2600 MHz
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR
G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000

To this,

Pairing up with my old BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB ?
Would i see Much, or not really much. with the cpu clocked of course
(not sure how much they can be clocked) ?
or would it have to be better ram.
Or just not worth selling the old stuff for this stuff ?

Cheers

Personally I wouldnt bother - you're going from a dual core system with 2Gb RAM....

to a dual core system with 2Gb RAM!

If you do upgrade I'd say get 4Gb 800Mhz RAM rather than that 2Gb of 1066Mhz stuff, as most benchies show very little difference between the RAM speeds - but 4Gb will always be useful.

Well it's an old 939 spec.
So would the 4gb make the difference with that new spec ?

I didn't see that it was dual core. Yeh, upgrade the RAM, although the intel setup would still be faster.

Depends on what your dad uses it for.
My old man is quite happy with a pentium 200, 64mb & windows 98

for that outlay i would have thought a better gfx card would be better.
depending on your res of course
