Hi All,
It's been awhile since I came to this forum. Specifically it's been about 2 years since you guys helped me build my 1.6a -> 2.4. I recently received a Radeon 9800pro as a gift and was wondering if now would be a good time to upgrade.
Current Rig:
P4 1.6a @ 2.4ghz 600mhz fsb
Samsung PC2700 512mb
Abit BG-7 (845G)
Radeon 9800pro 128mb (Ati built)
I'm not really sure where the bottlenecks in my current setup may be but I doubt I could push the cpu too much further with say faster memory. So basically looking for advice to build a new OC rig. I use my computer for surfing, web dev, photoshop, gaming, dvdshrink. Would I see a huge improvement by going to say a 3.2-3.4ghz setup? It seems like there are a lot of new technologies on the horizon such as PCI-Express, 64bit extensions, etc.
Thanks!
