HELP

My computers spec. isn't really up to much, but what should I upgrade?

My choice was either a new graphics card, I've currently got a Voodoo3 3000, or a new processor and motherboard, P2 450 (slot 1)

I don't have much memory but that's cheap enough to buy, and I can make do at the moment with my 192Mb.

Please help, I want to run GP4 at more than 10fps!

New graphic card (a decent geforce is a must. Gerforce 2 are pretty cheap and even geforce 3 is getting cheaper and cheaper.)

New CPU could do the trick as well. P240 isn't much these days. The thing is, you will need a new mainboard (motherboard) as well + totally new RAM, since the old RAMS will certainly not support 100 or 133 Mhz FSB that newer boards will have. Just consider: You will have to change board, CPU, RAM, graphics card - not much left; could be cheaper and (easier) to get a complete new PC. Sorry.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

Or go to

And get a powerpack or whatever its called. You get all the components (no gfx) for powerful system, cheaper than anywhere else.


But remember, its only for today, it changes each day.

actually, better idea. go to

[www.novatech.co.uk]


and do a blue print pc to your desired spec. Note down the components (type and all) cos they are definately compatibly (does that for you) then buy elsewhere those bits, and make it yourself. Everyone has a friend who knows how to build pcs....i guess

I was thinking of getting a Gainward GeForce4 Ti 4200?

Is it any good?

Will it work in my 2x AGP slot?

Is it the best option, between a card and processor/mobo combination?

Is £129(inc. VAT, and I can collect it coz its a shop just down the road) a good buy, or can anyone reccomend somewhere cheaper?

I really should get a new system I know, but that is well outside my budget at the moment. At least with a new gfx card I know what I'm doing, and it's easy to get it up and running.
