Upgrading My System (Bottleneck?)

[peterattheboro]

I've been getting random blue screens recently which I would assume could be either motherboard or memory.

I've just gave in and decided to get a new motherboard, processor and memory.

Now i've ordered some gigabyte board, an AMD X2 6000+ and 2gb of some Corsair Dominator stuff for £50 (Deal of the week)

Will my old X1900XTX 512mb be suitable for around another 6 months or so running games like Crysis, UT3 etc?

Machine is not built yet so I haven't tried anything.

Thanks!

Thanks. I'll put my pounds in the swear jar and save up for the next range of ATI cards

Then the processor will be balls

cos amd are cheaper, and you don't have to have 4Ghz quad cores to game. The X2's seem to do 3-3.5Ghz, probably a good 3.2-3.3Ghz on air. Show me a game that a Conroe is faster than a 3.3Ghz X2 in, well show me 3 games anyway, and then tell me why a C2D is worth buying if you only game.

Only AM2 I believe
