VID CARD or CPU?

[McMullet2]

Hey, just went and bought a new motherboard and more RAM today. It's a Biostar nForce2 mobo and 512 of the good stuff... now I got a few more bucks to blow and was looking into upgrading my vid card or cpu. Currently my cpu is a 1.3 Duron 200FSB and my vid card is a Radeon 7000... i know both should be upgraded! Now the choice is bettween a Radeon 9100 8x 128MB or a Barton 2500+ 333FSB. There approx the same price, give or take 20 bucks and there pretty much at my limit. What would give me more performance!

Welcome all opinions!

THanks!

$50 T-bred B and a $50 geforce3

I agree with the $50 T-Bred... But a Radeon 8500 for $64 would be great..

That would be great too...

I was gonna say that. If you're fine with overclocking, unlike me, ge the 1700+ T-Bred and a 8500. That'll last you some time, it'll even run Doom 3, even though at lowest settings, the game is designed to run on a Gforce3 and 8500 and up.
