It's gotten to the point where I've stopped looking at PC games because I normally have to play them at the lowest settings.
I know my graphics card is dragging me behind, I cut costs on it when I was building this machine.
Here are my specs
MD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (I have this clocked at 2400Mhz)
NF4 SLI-DR EXPERT (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard
G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 (2x1GB) CAS3 Dual Channel Kit
BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 250GB 2500KS SATA-II 16MB Cache x2
Enermax Noisetaker 600W EG701AX-VE(W) SFMA ATX2.0 SLI Compliant PSU
I wouldn't mind spending about £100-£150 on a new graphics card, but I'm not sure if I should bother if the other specs of this machine are letting me down as well.
Is there anything else in my machine that's worthwhile upgrading?
I'm also thinking of replacing 1 of my hard drives (pretty sure it's faulty), is now a good time to upgrade to Vista?
