Hi there. I'm mainly a gamer who bought his second "gaming" pc about 2 1/2 years ago.
I bought my PC in November of 2008, and haven't really had any problems with it. At the time I spent a little extra money and went for the higher end build rather than a quick cheaper solution due to quality over time.
These are my current specs:
My Graphics card is an Nvidia GForce 8800GT, 1gig.
However when I received the computer, I was running Vista 32 Home premium, and only had 1 HDD.
Things I've upgraded: Added a 1TB HDD
I currently have 4 gigs of ram, but after a problem with Vista(har - har) I went back to XP home(32bit) and can only use 2gigs.
So here's my problem. I feel as if my computer is still alot better than I think it is. I play WoW, Starcraft, Battlefield, Teamfortress, all which don't require massively high end computers to run. I don't feel like I'm getting the FPS i should be getting along with speeds. I haven't run any bench marks, but from experience, in raid(world of warcraft raid) settings, I am about 30 fps, decent memory at fair settings(shadows off).
I won't say I'm the most computer savvy person but I know it can't be that low with what seems to be a still really decent rig.
What can I do to get the most out of my PC? Should I upgrade, should I try over clocking my cpu? Should I upgrade to Windows 7 and get the full amount of RAM available?
Anything advice you have will help me! Thanks!
