Hardware upgrade

[Mo0o]

Upgrade to 6600GT - Cost: ~$60 after I sell my 9800pro
Advantages:
--Dual DVI, good for my monitors, much better picture clarity for the second monitor
--The current card has no fan controller so the noise is pretty bad. It's even worse since i have a mesh mod that really lets teh sound leak out.

Upgrade to 1GB RAM - Cost: ~$70
Advantages:
--Would be useful when gaming
--I usually run a few torrents at all times so being able to keep them open while having more programs open would be handy.

Ram then graphics card. The ram is utilized for a lot more than gaming. The 9800 Pro is still an o.k. card

Oh, & BTW, 9800 Pro to 6600 GT is a very small upgrade. Not at all worth it.

If you want a better video card, i'd get a X800XL or 6800 GT as the minimum.

Don't bother upgrading the card btw. Get the new RAM though. You should be fine with the 9800Pro for a year / a year and a half.. I've got the card and it plays HL2 on all high settings (on 1024x768)
