Hiya folks,
im after some advice, i am currently contemplating upgrading my PC but there are a few things that im unsure of.
My current setup is :
OS : Windows XP
CPU : LGA775 - 3.4 EE
Mobo : Intel something
Memory : 2GB
Gfx : Nvidia 6600GT
What im thinking about upgrading to :
OS : Windows 7
CPU : i7 920
Mobo : Asus rampage II
Memory : unsure
Gfx : Unsure (£300 max)
Im unsure about memory and gfx card, memory because i dont understand what the 8-8-8-24 malarchy is all about (i have a general understanding that 2000 > 1600) and gfx because i dont know whether i would be better off with 1 "newer" card Vs 2 "older cards" an example being : 2x xfx gtx 260 Vs 1x Ocuk 295
im guessing that it isnt really worth upgrading some of the bits that i currently have due to advances in technology?
i appreciate any tips/advice
cheers
