Hi, I am on a REALLY tight budget at present so am looking for ways to make my system that bit faster - it is currently (don't laugh (too loudly));

PC CHips M825LU mobo (v7.2a) (AGP)
Athlon XP2200
512 MB Kingston Value Ram
Nvidia 6200 256mb

But I do have a HUGE 22" Mitsubishi diamond plus 200 monitor (only saving grace of the system!)

This has all came about when I installed Battlefield 2 and had to drop all the settings to low to play it properly (especially online!) I was well dischuffed!

So, I was thinking of another block of 512mb Kingston ram and a new graphics card (no idea what to get)- total budget is up to £150 max! What do you guys reckon?

Also, how would I overclock my athlon on this board as I cannot find anything in the bios screens to change things (not that I know what I am looking for anyway! :) )


This has to last me around 10-12 months till I save up for a REALLY good setup!

Cheers in advance.

Cheers, thought so re the mobo damn cheapass I am!
I cannot seem to find any 1gb blocks of pc2100 anywhere - only 512mb !

get PC3200 its the same price and cheaper in some cases..... it is backward compatible & more likely to be used in future upgrades (or hold resale value) than 2100
 
Ah, so I can use that even though my board only goes up to pc2100?? Nice one if I can! My board takes 2.5v memory - will have to check what 3200 is!!
