I built this system last september and will be heading off for ol' college this fall and don't feel like buildling a whole new system with so much change going on in the pc world.
2800XP
512pc2700
9600pro
Asus A7v600
120 WD 8mb
I do a solid amount of gaming on this system right now (CS, DoD, and UT2k4) and everything runs great except for UT2k4 taking forever to load levels which i kinda attribute to my lack of decent memory. But I feel like i need to add some stuff to tide me over til my next big computer purchese since I'm playing the last generation of games and would like to be able to play something new at decent levels. Im trying to conserve money since i just dropped a solid 2200 on my laptop and digital camera.
The only thing that i have really pondered is uping the memory on this system. However, im not sure if i should throw in another 512 of pc2700 or just go buy a gig of pc3200. And with memory prices as high as they are, I'm a bit confused. I've thought about throwing a new video card in there like a 9800 pro or something but i dont feel like dropping 200 when im probably going to upgrade in about a year or less to a 64 system. Sorry for the "long windedness," but im just stuck with some decisions that are tough for me at least and I want to blindly follow other people's opinions..
