[grss1982]

---

For 10k+ ako ta e upgrade akong old PC setup. i need an advice on where to start...if posible kanang mka daog og
Call of Duty 2 or maybe kanang bag-o ron Call of duty 4, though not gamer pero I'll try to play one.

Old specs.
proc: Intel E7200 (2.53mhz) C2D
mobo: Gigabyte GAG31M-s2l
Ram: 1 x Kingston 1G 800DDR2
Vcard: Built-in
monitor: 15" CRT

Unsa man akong unahon og upgrade?., my initial plan ky 19" LCD = 8K, for the remaining 2k+ ky sa Vcard..but then onsa nga vcard? best for my mobo.

thanks..

HUH? OLD RIG NA NI?

IMHO my Athlon x2 4000+ based system bought in Feb. 7, 2008 is muhc older tech than that bro.

Anyways.....spend money for another 1GB RAM/ 2k to 3k for for a Video Card, plus a branded PSU. For the LCD how about a smaller one?

Salamat sa inyong mga suggestion mga bai..

cgi unahon lng sa nko Ram, Vcard, pwr supply..ang subra e bulsa..bacin nxt yer mo ubos na ang price sa LCD.

btw mga bro ask ko ngano gamay raman ang price difference between this Vcards:
(inn3d 8600gt 512ddr3 128bit = 3480psos) and (inn3d 8600gt 1Gddr2 128bit = 3530psos)
pero ang memory sa ddr2 is doble kysa ddr3... dako ba ang difference bet ddr2 and ddr3?

[isyot_daut]

1gb ram
vcard: 8600gt nga ddr3 version or 9600gt
silverstone st50f psu

i oc imo processor 2 3.0ghz

unya nlng na crt...ok pana...hehe

mas kusog ang DDR3 chips compared to DDR2 and more expensive as well. it affects performance. Performance cards dont use DDR2.. 1GB is useless for the DDR2 version.. it's just appealing to buyers..

dont buy dat 8600GT at P3500. A 9600GSO 384Mb DDR3 @ P3700 is a lot faster than that. or better yet a 9600GT 512mb DDR3 @ 5K..

if you go ATI, Radeon 4670 512mb ddr3 tag P4350..

unsay duwaon nimo?

bag-o rko na addict sa games, just completed COD1 pero pg install nko sa COD2 dli nman kadaog ko PC..also planning to play need4speed.. bout sa 9600GSO kadaog nana sa COD4?

[yob]

i see.. kaya kaau..

[mil]

id go with the ati card na 4670 for around 4k.. a very efficient gpu and can play games at a decent/playable fps. also considering 15" crt pa imo monitor. and the rest you can invest it in a good psu. the ST-56F is a good start para if mg upgrade napud ka ug vid card well kayang-kaya ra kau. also add 1gb sa imo ram and your good to go!

I could run COD4 @640x480 using a 256MB GeForce 7300GT DDR3 (PCIE).....so I guess anything higher like the 9600GSO can run COD4 at higher resolutions and more details.
