How do!
I am currently running a 3800 sanny (939) with what used to be 2 gig (4 x 512mb geil value) of ram and a 1900xtx gfx card.
I recently had to poach a 1gig of ram out of it to replace the memory that died in my server and since then i have noticed a significant decrease in performance.
I want to fix this and so have thought about swapping out my m/b, cpu and ram for this:
Asus M2R32-MVP Crossfire (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+ 2.40GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)
This will cost me £196.18 and I will continue to use my 1900xtx because I think it is still a belting gfx atm (I will upgrade this at a later date when newer dx10 cards are released and its more widely used).
Is this worth it?, should i stick with AMD or change to Intel (i have always been an amd man, but have no problem changin)? Wanna keep any upgrade below 2gig and wanna get the most "bang for my buck".
Any other suggestions welcomed.
