Is this a stupid upgrade?

[lOnGjOhN]

Right now i have a a64 3000 754 , 1gb ram, and a 6800np

I'm planning on getting a dell2005fpw... which has a fairly high native rez.

My 6800np completely craps out at 1600...

I'm planing on getting a x800xt aiw. Is that stupid? this isn't the main reason either.

This summer i'm going to korea and i'm scooping out my system and putting it in a SFF. My 6800 won't fit since its dual slot and i'll be taking my 2005fpw so it'd run like crap stuff like crap.... but damn i really want to jump on this deal!!!

I wouldn't do it, it isn't really a noticable upgrade. It isn't that great, but if you've got the cash, go for it.

Yeah, that actually makes a good sense if you're planning to OC that CPU, but since all OC's

a gamble, the 90nm 3200+, or 90nm 3500+ may be a better choice.

Yeah but i dunno if i can afford the price difference.

the 90nm 3500 is like double the price of the 3000

Got to remind you though, that there's very minimal performance gap, especially in gaming, between the S754 3000+ and the S939 3000+

 

[lOnGjOhN]

yeah your right better go with the 3500.. its only about 120 bucks more.

How big is the performance difference between the 754 3000 and the 939 3500? fps wise on average?

Depending on the games you play, there won't be that much difference, unless you crank up all the settings -- here's a link:
