I have been out of the loop of computer hardware for a little while and will probally not be able to play Age of Empires 3 or Star Wars Empires at War. I must play!
My system has 1 gig thunderbird, Gforce 2 pro, MSI turbo board, and a crap case that has treated me well for some time, but that time is over. I have done reasearch and the following has me still wondering.
1) The difference between the Venice and Sledghammer. SEE3?
2) Will a Gforce 6600 run most games?
3) If not will 2 with SLi do it and how much of a power supply will I need. I believe 2 would work but is it necessary?
4) Knowing the kind of games that I play will a Semperon still cut it? I'm guessing not since there is only 256 Kb of L2 cache.
5) What is a 9800 ATI comparable to?
The system that I am leaning towards is as follows:
MSI K8N socket 754 Nforce 4
AMD 64 3000+ Venice
Geforce 6600 256mb 128bit DDR
if 2 video cards are necessary I would have to go with Epox
I hate being on a budget!
