Ok, im thinking about doing a little upgrading. Ive had my eye on a Radeon for awhile and from what i can tell its a awesome card, however it isnt so good under Win 2k(unless they got some new drivers that just smoke) The thing though is that i dont want to take Win 2k off my machine, but i want a good video card upgrade over the Geforce2 MX that im using right now. Now if my Geforce2 MX is realy good enough(wich probably is and im just trying to find a reason to spend me pay check) Maybe i should consider upgrading from my Tbird 750 to a 1ghz+ cpu, i can get a 1.1ghz for under 200$. Anyways here are my options ive given myself; 1) buy new video Radeon AGP 64mb for 200$(retail too) or get a Geforce2 GTS 32mb for 200$(asus brand), the only draw back here is that if i get ati i might loose performance under Win 2k? 2) Just incase i got for Radeon, and performance under 2k is bad, i can get a copy of ME for 100$ and dual Win 2k and ME so i can keep the OS i desire 3) Or i just screw all those ideas and just keep what i have and just upgrade my CPU from 750 to 1ghz.
All suggestions are very welcome.
PS: Just thought of one more thing, how much of a diference is the performance in games between 2k and me? I never sat down and searched for benchmarks. If it is substantialy(sp?) higher, by like 10+ fps compared to 2k, then i would just get ME and dual boot.
PPS: Another thing the place i be buying from has the Tbird listed as "1ghz 200mhz bus" and "1ghz 266mhz bus". Now from what i understand(or just thought) was that the Tbird were all 266mhz or DDR ready, thats if 266mhz bus means DDR, from the time they came out. Thanks for your help.
