My system configuration

AMD Athlon 64 2800+ 1.81 GHz Processor, 512 MB Memory, Gigabyte K8 Triton GA-K8VM800M VIA K8M800 chipset motherboard.

I want to add a graphics card and another 512 MB memory to my system. Is it worth to upgrade this system (3 years old) or buy a new PC? Please help me.....:confused:

If u game, there is no point upgrading, If u just need it for office work, yeah, I would suggest the upgrade will just do fine.

Yup, in that case head to the market section, sell the stuff, and get a new comp based on your budget....

This configuration is too underpowered to run the current generation of games(Crysis,Call of duty4)Youll need a complete overhaul to play these games.
