Hi there. My current system is:
Asus P5AD2-E with Prescott 3.6
Memory: 4 X 512 Mb (2Gb) Corsair XMS2 Pro - TWIN2X 5400
ATI x850XT
2 Raptors + 2 SATA drives
I was thinking about upgrading to Asus P5W-DH and Core 2 Duo E66600.
Do I need new memory or TWIN2X 5400 is fast enough?
Should I get new Video Card? Let's say ATI x1950?
Usage is 30% games, 30% Photoshop, 20% Video/Audio, 20% other.
Most important question: Will I see real increase in speed encoding video and processing photos?
I'm not going to upgrade if real life encrease is only 10-20%. It's not worth it for me.
Thanks in advance.
