Right now, I have an Athlon64 3200+, 512 MB of DDR RAM and a geforce fx5200. My priority for now is playing need for speed most wanted. To keep spending on a minimum, do u think i should upgrade the RAM or the video card? the RAM is obv cheaper n the video card(if necessary) i'll get a 6600 or at the most the GT. So is it worth it?Which is more essential for MW?
second point is - my current RAM is PC2700, installed on the first slot. Can I install another 512 MB of PC3200 RAM? Will it cause a conflict?
Also, for first prob, cld u give me the basis for ur opinions?
thnx in advance!!
512 is Ok for now i guess coz very few games demand full 256 MB at most... Go for a GT if budget permits, it will surely boost the game's speed as u have the 3200+ to complement it...
Try as far as u can to keep the memories of a same frequency.. rarely problems occur but then too.. it may create probs some time or the other...
All System upgrade queries go In Hardware TroubleShooting. Moving the topic..
it is advisable not to use a different frequency.. and as maniac suggested go in for a 6600 GT if u can.. 512 MB ram is enuff as on day..
if NFS:MW is where ur gamin needs ends
then i dont think u need a gt
go for a 6600 non gt (5.5k)
and buy new DDR400 RAM = 1 gb (4.5k)
this will put u in good stead for vista ....
and they will come the same price as the single 6600gt (11k+)
hmm, for NFS -MW only, get a Geforce 6200 non ultra with 128 MB RAM, AGP or PCI depending on your motherboard, 512 should sufice at 800X600, but if your budget allowes get 1 GB RAM
mmm.....i was just chkin out the sites for the 6200 when i noticed it has something called "turbocache" which apparently shares system memory with the graphics memory....wonder if the 6200 coupled with some 1 gb of system memory would be able to beat the 6600? or even the 6600GT?
that said, i'm a bit outdated on the latest cards....which is the bestEST card available for less than 10 k? i'm talkin abt agp, of course
^^^
i dont know where u got tht piece of info
but no matter wht a 6200 cant beat a 6600gt
and i insist u look at wat i told earlier
and in terms of pure GFX cards for 10k
the best u can get is a XFX geforce 6600gt - 256mb -- AGP
