Looking for opinions really.
Main PC is abit an7 with athlon XP-M clocked up to 3400+(and above sometimes),or underclocked to keep consumption down depending on usage,
AGP Radeon 9700 128Mb.
I don't play games except for occasional flight sim, but do a fair bit of video editing/conversion and handling of large files from my digital SLR.
Been out of the loop for around 2yrs and now find that if I upgrade it'll need to be major. New graphics (PCI-e), RAM etc.
Money is not really an issue but percieved value for money is.
So the question is..shall I upgrade what I have or start from scratch. I only have 512Mb of Ram at the moment. Would 2x1Gb sticks work wonders for what I already have given my usage? Would a better AGP card help?
If I upgrade what I have then I'll also upgrade my media PC with a nice Silverstone case with VFD etc.
Any other suggestions?
